Installation Prover

Set Up Node

Installing Rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Start by cloning this GitHub repository:

git clone --branch mainnet --single-branch https://github.com/AleoNet/snarkOS.git

Next, move into the snarkOS directory:

cd snarkOS
git checkout tags/testnet-beta

[For Ubuntu users] A helper script to install dependencies is available. From the snarkOS directory, run:

./build_ubuntu.sh

Lastly, install snarkOS:

cargo install --locked --path .

Please ensure ports 4130/tcp and 3030/tcp are open on your router and OS firewall.

Run an Aleo Prover

Start by following the instructions in the Build Guide.

Next, generate an Aleo account address:

snarkos account new

This will output a new Aleo account in the terminal.

Please remember to save the account private key and view key. The following is an example output:

Private Key APrivateKey1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <-- Save Me And Use In The Next Step
View Key AViewKey1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <-- Save Me
Address aleo1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <-- Save Me

Next, to start a proving node, from the snarkOS directory, run:

./run-prover.sh

if cannot get peer try this script

 ./run-prover.sh --network 1

When prompted, enter your Aleo private key:

Enter the Aleo Prover account private key:
APrivateKey1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
