Installing Splendor Node on Linux
Step 1: Download the Application
- Visit the website: https://splendor.org/dashboard/download (opens in a new tab).
- Look for a button or link saying 'Download for Linux' and click it.
- Save the file to your preferred folder, such as ~/Downloads.
Step 2: Extract the Downloaded File
- Open a terminal window.
- Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the file:
- cd ~/Downloads
- Extract the file using the tar command if it's a .tar.gz:
- tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz
Or install the package with the appropriate command if it’s a .deb or .rpm: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
or sudo rpm -i filename.rpm
Step 3: Run the Application
If it’s an AppImage, make it executable and then run it: chmod +x filename.AppImage ./filename.AppImage If the application was installed from a package, search for its launcher in your desktop environment or run it from the terminal.
Step 4: Configure the Blockchain Node
If the application has a graphical interface, look for and click on the button labeled "Get Blockchain Node" to initiate the configuration process for your blockchain node. Wait for any necessary downloads or setups to complete.
Step 5: Manage the Blockchain Node
- To stop the node, find and click on "Stop Node".
- To start the node, click on "Start Node" after stopping it.
- Watch for status messages or logs in the application interface to confirm the node is running.
Step 6: Handle Permissions and Security Alerts on Linux
If you downloaded a script or binary, you might need to give it execution permissions: chmod +x filename
If you encounter permission issues when running the application, you may need to execute it with superuser privileges: sudo ./filename
Always ensure you're downloading software from trusted sources to avoid security risks.
