Tagion PI5

Preparation.​

The swap partition needs to be increased to at least 8GB. This can be done as follows.

First disable the swap.

sudo swapoff -a
Create a swapfile
sudo fallocate -l 8G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
  • Enable the swap.
sudo swapon /swapfile
  • Compile the tagion software.
mkdir work
cd work
cd tagion/
git clone git@github.com:tagion/tagion.git
  • Install the tools.
sudo apt install perl autoconf g++ make
  • Install the compile
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/download/v1.40.0/ldc2-1.40.0-linux-aarch64.tar.xz

cd .local
cd share
tar -xJvf /tmp/ldc2-1.40.0-linux-aarch64.tar.xz
  • Create a link to compiler.
cd
cd .local
mkdir bin
ls -s ../share/ldc2-1.40.0-linux-aarch64/bin/ldc2
  • Setup the path to the compiler.
export PATH $HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
  • Check the compiler version.
ldc2 –version
  • Compile the tagion node program.
cd
cd work/tagion
make install

Run a test network.​

  • Setup the test wallets.
scripts/create_wallets.sh -b ~/.local/bin/

Start the network in mode0.

~/.local/bin/neuewelle ./mode0/tagionwave.json --keys $PWD/mode0/ < keys

Now the test network should start in mode0.
