Qortal Project

This is a guide for the Plumbus devices.

1) Download the appimage if you haven’t already: https://github.com/Qortal/qortal-ui/releases/download/v1.7.0/Qortal-Setup-arm.AppImage Simply download the file (rename it if you like, something like 'Qortal-UI' makes the most sense). Right click the file, properties, then go to permissions and check the allow executing this file as a program checkbox.

2) Enter this command in terminal to update the stop script if you haven’t already:

cd qortal && rm stop.sh && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Qortal/qortal/master/stop.sh && chmod +x stop.sh

3) Now download the latest jar:

wget https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/download/v3.0.4/qortal.jar

4) Now stop your core:

 cd qortal && ./stop.sh

5) Open your qortal folder, replace the new jar with your old jar (delete the old jar): IT HAS TO BE TITLED THE EXACT SAME AS OLD JAR: qortal.jar

6) Now delete the db folder at the top of the qortal folder (second one down)

7) Now delete the apikey.txt

8) Now open the settings.json and change this setting to false if it reads true: “apiDocumentationEnabled” : false

Your settings will look different, feel free to copy mine if you’d like. Might even be BLANK! Just copy and paste mine:

{ "apiDocumentationEnabled" :false, "apiEnabled": true, "apiRestricted": false, "autoUpdateEnabled": true, "minBlockchainPeers": 8, "minOutboundPeers": 16, "maxPeers": 32, "listenPort": 12392, "allowConnectionsWithOlderPeerVersions": false, "minPeerVersion": "3.0.4" }

9) Now you can start your core. If you do not have port forwarding enabled, and have access to your router, you can set:

Inbound and outbound to: 12392 Protocol: TCP

If you are setting the port forward, then restart the router after doing so. Usually the router has a "save and apply" button or something, and restarts itself. But mine didn’t. Your router setup might look different than the picture below but same idea:

10) When you start the core, it’ll bootstrap with a pop up screen, let it run its course. May take an hour or so:

./start.sh
