**Please note:** after setting up your computer as a node, be sure to review the [[Port Forwarding]] guide to ensure your node functions optimally. 

Build your own QORTector or buy one pre-built at https://crowetic.com! **Please note: this guide is for building your own Raspberry Pi from scratch with a BrooklynR OS.  For those who have purchased a QORTector from https://crowetic.com please go to [[QORTector Walkthrough]]**


===== Raspberry Pi 4 Configuration Recommendations=====

  * Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB (4GB will work but 8GB is recommended)
  * Power Supply
  * Case with fan (fan is important!)
  * USB 3.0 SSD 500GB or above (128GB microSD will work but SSD is recommended)


===== Preparations on your PC/Desktop computer =====


  -  To flash image on SSD and SD, download Balenaetcher : [[https://www.balena.io/etcher| Select OS on site]] / or for Windows only - another option - win32diskimager: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
  -  Only if using SD card (not recommended), download SD Memory card formatter: [[https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter| Select OS on site]] 
  - Download 7-zip (to unpack the image) : [[https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1900-x64.exe|Windows (64bits)]] , [[https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1900.exe|Windows (32bits)]]
  - For Mac users download Keka(to unpack the image) : [[https://d.keka.io|macOS]]
  - Download Remote desktop client to access PI from your MAC or Windows computer (used for Desktop GUI images)OPTIONAL can use SSH: [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-clients| Select OS on site]]  
  - Download latest supported image on your computer in preparation to flash on ssd of pi4:
    
===== How To Install QortalOS and Qortal Core =====

  - only for SD card, Format SD card with FAT32/FATX using SD Memory Card Formatter on your computer
  - Use 7-zip or Keka on your computer to extract the downloaded image, you will get a file with **Disc icon** (circling in picture){{::1.png?400|}}
  - Connect your SSD drive or sd card to your computer to usb port for flashing the unpacked image 
  - Open Balena etcher on your computer, select the image you extracted, select SSD drive or microSD card , click ‘flash’! {{::2.png?400|}}
  - Once it finishes flashing the image, disconnect from computer the SSD or microSD card plug into to Pi, connect Pi to router via ethernet cable (recommended) and power on the Pi.
  - Power on the Pi and wait a few minutes to start. In the meantime, log into your router to locate the IP address of your Pi for SSH or use of remote desktop to access PI via computer. Always good idea to check that your PI is now listed in your connected devices. This is even if you are using a monitor, keyboard, and mouse where RDP is not needed.
  - If you are going headless (using a different computer to log into the Pi desktop) then on Windows/Mac/Linux open up Remote Desktop Connection (Microsoft Remote Desktop Client or Remmina for Linux)
  - Enter the IP for your Pi and click ‘connect’. Click ‘yes’ when it asks about connecting and if you trust the certificates.
  - Log in. Username: pi Password: dmax911e 
  - Once Desktop loads you Open a terminal session to Expand the the filesystem: <code>sudo raspi-config </code>
  - Raspi-config screens will pop up. Scroll down to advanced settings using arrow keys, hit enter, select expand file system and select it. When it is done select ‘exit’ and it will ask for you to reboot. Click ‘yes’
  - Log in again. Username: pi Password: dmax911e
  - Open a terminal session to update system/apps(copy and paste as is command below):<code>sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade</code>
  - once done system/apps update, download, extract and run latest core with this one command in terminal (copy and paste as is command below):
<code>wget https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.zip && unzip qortal.zip && cd qortal && chmod +x *.sh && ./start.sh</code>
You will see qortal logo and bootstrap process, let it run and then the core will sync up with the chain. 

 =====How to Install Qortal UI via scripts with associated UI launcher =====

Type in Terminal session (press return after each command): 
<code>cd

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xspektrex/QORTectorScripts/master/uninstall_ui.sh

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xspektrex/QORTectorScripts/master/update_install_ui.sh

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xspektrex/QORTectorScripts/master/launch_UI.sh ((move to desktop via GUI file manager)

Make the script/s executable:

via terminal, immediately after terminal load, with chmod +x *.sh

Via GUI with (Right-click -> Properties -> Permissions) and check the "make executable" box.

Cut/paste UI launcher from home to desktop( via GUI file Manager)

Now run the update_install or uninstall script/s via terminal:

sudo ./uninstall_ui.sh
(optional this will enable a clean install, recommended first time after flashing a new image)

sudo ./update_install_ui.sh
(when you see the line "Build Complete, You can use your new UI" its done)</code>

=====How to Run Qortal UI via UI launcher=====

Launch the Qortal UI via the UI launcher, double click on the icon on desktop

For more info on these scripts developed by Hfactor visit: https://github.com/xspektrex/QORTectorScripts
=====How to install and Run new Qortal UI app image=====

In terminal session, you will download the Raspberry Pi Qortal UI (arm64 64bit .AppImage) - Qortal UI:

<code>cd

cd Desktop

wget https://github.com/Qortal/qortal-ui/releases/latest/download/Qortal-Setup-arm64.AppImage</code>

once completed in terminal, go to the Desktop and update the file called Qortal-Setup-arm64.appimage as follows:

<code>Right Click on file called Qortal-Setup-arm64.appimage, choose Properties

First tab change name to Qortal-UI

Select Permissions tab, tick Allow executing file as program, then close

Double click on the Qortal-UI file and the Qortal UI login will appear.
</code>

Note: For Headless images, you will access your pi via ssh from your computer.

First set up an ssh tunnel as shown on this page SSH tunneling and keep it open : http://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php?id=ssh_tunneling. 

Then in terminal on your computer enter: ssh pi@ip address assigned in your router. You will be prompted for  
Username: pi 
Password: dmax911e (password will not display when typing) 

===== How To Access Your Pi Remotely via RDP =====

This walkthrough will illustrate using Microsoft Remote Desktop client on a Mac laptop (see in ‘Preparations’ section above where to download the client for your computer OS):

1. Click on 'Add PC' and define the connection for Pi TITAN, in this example shows connecting via ip address located earlier from the connected devices in our router/modem. Another option would be via hostname: titan.local (just replace the 'titan' portion with whatever version your device is - such as 'plumbus' for QORTector customers).
{{:screen_shot_titan1_2022-03-14_at_6.42.54_pm.png?600}}

==== QortalOS - TorchieMATE - 64bit - 16GB and 32GB QORTector versions====
(Release Date: Sept 16, 2022)
Repository: Qortal/Brooklyn · Tag: 3.0.1 · Released by: Crowetic

This release is packed with 'Torchie' that is built for the upcoming memPoW release of Qortal that will eventually be built into consensus.

It is also a fUll GUI version, built for the QORTectors.

Please NOTE - due to the tremendous amount of work that went into the customization on the 'pi' user, the decision was made to leave it as 'pi' for this release. You may have noticed the headless version has a 'qortal' user.

For this release, the username/password defaults are:

Username - pi
Password - dmax911e

Just like the previous NXT releases, etc... In the future I may re-work it so that the user will be 'qortal' like it is on the headless, but there are a TON of customisations to the pi account, so leaving it for now.

This version is FULL 64bit (ARM64) just like its headless predecessor, therefore supports ARRR.

All of the details from the headless release below regarding the kernel and its improvements, also apply to this release.

This release also includes a customised GUI done by HFactor, and some added modifications by crowetic and Scare Crowe for ease of use and performance and debugging.

*The 16GB version does NOT include the Qortal db or the auto-start feature - The 16GB version comes with a link on the desktop to Start the Qortal Core, simply double-click it and click 'run'. If you WOULD like to enable the auto-start, you can simply use crontab -e and remove the '#' in front of the line that says @reboot ./start-qortal-at-boot.sh - this will start the core in the background just like the QORTector version does. You can also use the 'startup applications' tool to create a startup method that will start with the GUI, but this will only work if you have a monitor attached.

*The 32GB version DOES include a copy of the Qortal db, and auto-start feature - Remember, that with the 32GB version the Qortal Core STARTS AUTOMATICALLY and RUNS IN THE BACKGROUND. This means you do NOT have to start the Qortal Core, you simply start the device and the Qortal Core starts automatically.

This release has been tested on both 4GB and 8GB Raspberry Pi devices, and is currently undergoing more in-depth testing of the memPoW on the 4GB pi. Results of the longer testing of the memPoW on the 4GB pi will be made available to the Qortal community upon completion.

==== Brooklyn-NXT-TitanPLUS-QORTector-32GB-5.12.2022 ====

(Release Date: May 12, 2022)

Repository: Qortal/Brooklyn · Tag: 1.3 · Released by: Crowetic

Hello again Qortians, it's time for another release of the TITAN!

It is my pleasure to take over the releases of this amazing development while Scare Crowe is in Ukraine. (He is of course the one still doing the development, I wish I was that good...heh. But I will be handling the releases.)

This is the newest QORTector image that will be used on all of the QORTectors sold by Crowetic Hardware Development LLC (https://crowetic.com) including the new 'QORTector-KB' that will be going up on the website shortly.

This image still uses MATE desktop environement as it has been continually proven to be the best performing desktop environment for the pi4. We will likely continue using MATE desktop for the foreseeable future.

This image is setup to start Qortal Core automatically upon boot, and run in the background, this means you will NOT see the Qortal icon on the taskbar unless you stop and start Qortal, or change it to use a .desktop startup file.

The image also comes with a pre-installed bootstrap and version 3.3.0 of the Qortal Core. This makes the image 32GB minimum size, so you will need at least 40GB of free space on the computer you plan to image from, and you'll need at least a 32GB disk to image to.

I will also release a 16GB version of this image soon. Hope you enjoy the new titanPLUS image!

This one includes the following improvements, and more...

1. Real-time page scan and allocation
2. Cache compression
3. Real-time IRQ checks
4. Dynamic I/O allocation for Java heap
5. Java page migration
6. Contiguous memory allocation
7. Idle pages tracking
8. Per CPU RAM usage tracking
9. ARM NEON scalar multiplication library
10. NEON/ARMv8 crypto extensions
11. NEON SHA, Blake, RIPEMD crypto extensions
12. Parallel NEON crypto engine for multi-algo based CPU stress reduction

==== QortalOS NXT TitanMATE Desktop ====
(Release Date: Mar 24, 2022)

Repository: Qortal/Brooklyn · Tag: 2.0 · Released by: Crowetic

This is the 16gb image of QortalOS NXT titanMATE by Scare Crowe.
Due to a few complaints about video performance on titan-plasma... he took titan to a whole new level!

Introducing... titanMATE! This one has hardware accelerated video performance, and MATE desktop environment, which is much less resource intensive, and performs a lot better.

This image is totally suitable as a 'desktop replacement' as it can stream HD video full screen with no issues. (Just don't expect to be able to play new games on a pi 4.)

There will be another version released shortly, the 'QORTector' version, which has only a couple differences... Qortal core starts automatically (which you can make this image do by adding @reboot ./start-qortal-at-boot.sh into crontab -e) and has a copy of the Qortal db on the image.

This image does not have the Qortal db, and the auto-start is currently disabled. Feel free to enable it if you like. This image has a start script on the desktop for the Qortal Core, as well as the UI appimage pre-installed. Enjoy!
