Iron Fish Installation

Choose you wanted option (for example option 1 – simply installing the node), enter preferred node name and wait for installation to complete.

Then execute the following commands:

The steps below are optional, you only need to start mining to increase your balance, and mining will start as soon as you sync the node. By default, a wallet is created with the default name, which used for mining rewards, so you do not need to create a new one.

1) Load variables:

. $HOME/.bashrc
. $HOME/.bash_profile

2) Set your node name (if you have empty config, you can check that by the command cat $HOME/.ironfish/config.json)

ironfish config:set nodeName $IRONFISH_NODENAME
ironfish config:set blockGraffiti $IRONFISH_NODENAME

3) Create wallet:

ironfish accounts:create $IRONFISH_WALLET

4) Set created wallet as default wallet:

ironfish accounts:use $IRONFISH_WALLET

5) Check your balance:

ironfish accounts:balance $IRONFISH_WALLET

Additional

Before starting the miner, make sure that your node is synchronized with the network by running the command:

ironfish status -f

Enable Telemetry:

ironfish config:set enableTelemetry true

Send a transaction using your default account:

ironfish accounts:pay

If you want to send the transaction from another account, you can use the `-f` flag

ironfish accounts:pay -f MySecondAccount

In order to receive a transaction, you just need to tell the sender the public key of your account. If you do not know your public key, run the following command:

ironfish accounts:publickey

To get the public key of your another account running the command:

ironfish accounts:publickey -a MySecondAccount

View the list of accounts on your node:

ironfish accounts:list

Export an account to a file:

ironfish accounts:export AccountName filename

Import an account from a file:

ironfish accounts:import filename

Delete your account:

ironfish accounts:remove MyAccount

You can get information about connection status and errors by running the following command:

ironfish peers:list -fe

Export keys:

mkdir -p $HOME/.ironfish/keys
ironfish accounts:export $IRONFISH_WALLET $HOME/.ironfish/keys/$IRONFISH_WALLET.json

Import keys:

ironfish accounts:import PATH_TO_THE_KEY

Check ironfish status:

ironfish status -f

Check the node:

journalctl -u ironfishd -f

Check the miner:

journalctl -u ironfishd-miner -f

Stop the node:

service ironfishd stop

Stop the miner:

service ironfishd-miner stop
