Dash Core is now available at `./src/dashd`
|

|

Before running, it's recommended you create an RPC configuration file.

|
|
|
echo -e "rpcuser=dashrpc\nrpcpassword=$(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)" > "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"
|

|
|
|
|
2016-07-06 20:44:33 +02:00
|
|
|
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"

|
The first time you run dashd, it will start downloading the blockchain. This process could take several hours.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can monitor the download process by looking at the debug.log file:

|
2016-07-06 20:44:33 +02:00
|
|
|
tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/DashCore/debug.log

Using Qt Creator as IDE
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
You can use Qt Creator as an IDE, for dash development.
|
|
|
|
|
Download and install the community edition of [Qt Creator](https://www.qt.io/download/).
|
|
|
|
|
Uncheck everything except Qt Creator during the installation process.
