Running a Creditcoin node

Note on runtime platforms: running a Creditcoin node is easiest on a Unix-like environment (whether that be Linux, MacOS, or WSL). Running natively on Windows is unsupported.

Running a development node

Now that you've built a creditcoin-node from source, you can get a minimal development node running with:

./target/release/creditcoin-node --dev

The node should start running and produce output similar to below:

By default this is a temporary chain, so when you stop your development node the chain will be wiped out. If you want a local development chain that is persistent, you can use the --base-path flag to specify a directory where the chain's data will be stored:

./target/release/creditcoin-node --dev --base-path persistent-chain
