For the moment setting up of merit core requires obtaining code, compiling and installing it. Binary distribution will be released soon.
To compile and run merit follow instructions linked in #Building section of the doc.
- See the documentation at the Merit Wiki for help and more information.
- Ask for help on #merit on Freenode. If you don't have an IRC client use webchat here.
The following are developer notes on how to build Merit on your native platform. They are not complete guides, but include notes on the necessary libraries, compile flags, etc.
To start the Merit daemon, run
src/meritd
You should create a long RPCpassword as instructed here: https://github.com/meritlabs/merit/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md#running
You will want a merit.conf that looks like. You can find the merit.conf file under $HOME/.merit/merit.conf
rpcuser=meritrpc
rpcpassword=<randomLongPassword>
