[bsbits]

Hello,

So I have set everything properly, I launched 2 insight versions for BTC and LTC. All required libraries, dependencies are met, when I start the node, I get this error.

Hello @bsbits,

I can assume from logs provided that you run on Ubuntu, right ? Could you provide more information about how you install it in the first place ?

[bsbits]

Correct, and this is the process I used to install it. First, I created an aws instance.

sudo apt-get update -y sudo apt-get upgrade

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

nvm install v4

apt-get install libzmq3-dev build-essential

npm install -g bitcore-node-dash
bitcore-node-dash create mynode
cd mynode
bitcore-node-dash install insight-api-dash
bitcore-node-dash install insight-ui-dash
bitcore-node-dash start

[bsbits]

Oh, and I also had to install python.

sudo apt-get install python

without it, I can not run npm install -g bitcore-node-dashwithout errors

[Alex-Werner]

Did you remember or have any log of the error regarding Python ?

When you did the creation of the mynode, are you sure that the folder mynode exist ? (as you diverted here a little from the doc).

Edit : Trying to reproduce in my end to lookup why it seeks on this folder.

[bsbits]

Python is required for zmq@2.15.3

So I had to install python and node-gyp

The folder mynode exists, I had to cd there to install the api and ui.

The doc here is not complete, Insight require node js to run.

[Alex-Werner]

Yeah, actually the doc is here : https://github.com/dashpay/bitcore-node-dash As this place is for Insight-ui (which is only an Angular Plugin allowing to explore the Blockchain).

But nevertheless, there is still an issue. During the time I move forward on my end, could you perform a search for the file dashd

[bsbits]

/home/ubuntu/.bitcore/data/dashcore-0.12.1/bin/dashd /home/ubuntu/.bitcore/data/dashd

[Alex-Werner]

Can I propose you to follow this : https://gist.github.com/Alex-Werner/0be9bb4757b013043eeb9be5d93d9d39

[bsbits]

worked like a charm.

Hello @afzydev I suggest you to follow this, an easier way to install it : https://gist.github.com/Alex-Werner/6de16b72a9070d945e3e74691d318f24 Also, here you have a permission issue which is not related to the package but with user rights.

No need to spam at 3 places ;) Also, the repo is now at github.com/dashevo
