How to install Bitcoin Classic Full Node on Amazon Linux EC2 (also valid for RHEL and CentOS)

These are installation instructions (with compilation) for Bitcoin Classic (Full Node) under Amazon Linux 2016.03.0
They should also work on Red Hat RHEL and CentOS.

- Make sure your box is up to date:

__| __|_ )
_| ( / Amazon Linux AMI
___|\___|___|

https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/2016.03-release-notes/

sudo yum update

- Install all this:

(This command is a single line)

sudo yum install git boost boost-devel autoconf automake gcc-c++ libtool openssl openssl-devel libevent libevent-devel

- Add PUIAS repository (needed for Berkeley DB when compiling the Bitcoin Wallet):

* Create this file:

sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/puias-computational.repo

* And add this content to it and save:

[puias-computational]

name=PUIAS Computational

baseurl=http://puias.math.ias.edu/data/puias/computational/6/x86_64/

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0

- Install DB48

sudo yum install db48 db48-devel

- Download Bitcoin Classic latest version from GitHub:

cd /usr/src

sudo git clone -b v0.12.0cl1 https://github.com/bitcoinclassic/bitcoinclassic.git

cd bitcoinclassic/

Note: Using label v0.12.0cl1 to avoid issues with lib-boost-1.55 (a 0.12.1 requisite)

- Configure:

sudo ./autogen.sh

sudo ./configure

Expected output:

$ sudo ./configure

Notes:
-externalip is used to tell bitcoind which Public IP to advertise on the Bitcoin network. This is extremely important when running a full-node in EC2.
- To obtain the Public IP of our node we use a standard EC2 Meta-Data API call. It can be used as shown on this example. No adjustments needed. You can learn more about EC2 Meta-Data in here.

Install Official Bitcoin Wallet On AWS EC2 Linux AMI (or RedHat / CentOS)

This article is now obsolete.

Please refer to the newer version:

http://blog.domenech.org/2016/04/how-to-install-bitcoin-classic-on-amazon-linux-aws-ec2.html

Update 2014-04-09: Using bitcoin-0.9.1 with Heartbleed patch.

You should know that RedHat, CentOS or Amazon Linux AMI are not the best choice when it comes to use Bitcoin wallet or other Bitcoin related activities. If you are looking for the easy path you should use Ubuntu Linux or Microsoft Windows as platform. The community is much bigger there.

But if you are determined like me to have your Bitcoin Wallet in the Cloud here you have some instructions. They apply to RedHat and its branches like AWS Linux AMI and CentOS.

Launch a EC2 Instance using Amazon Linux AMI HVM. In this example is ami-b521dfc2 (Ireland). I suggest to use the HVM version to maintain compatibility among different EC2 Instance Types.

All command are executed using ec2-user

Update & Reboot

sudo yum update
sudo reboot

PU_IAS6 Repository & Berkeley DB4.8

We will need Berkeley DB 4.8 but our OS comes with 4.7. Let's use PUIAS repository to get the RPMs with need.
Create the repository config file /etc/yum.repos.d/puias-computational.repo and paste into it the repository definition.

sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/puias-computational.repo

[puias-computational]
name=PUIAS Computational
baseurl=http://puias.math.ias.edu/data/puias/computational/6/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

sudo yum install db48 db48-devel

Boost-Devel

sudo yum install boost-devel

OpenSSL

We need Elliptic Curve Encryption for Bitcoin to work. For some reason it is missing in RHEL distributions. We have to patch around that.

Download & Install OpenSSL source

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1f.tar.gz
tar xvfz openssl-1.0.1f.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.1f
export CFLAGS="-fPIC"
./config shared

Disable man pages

vim Makefile

Locate a line with this content "install: all install_docs install_sw" (Line #543) and remove "install_docs" command from it.
The final result should look like this:

...
...
...
@$(MAKE) TAR='$(TAR)' TARFLAGS='$(TARFLAGS)' tar

dist_pem_h:
(cd crypto/pem; $(MAKE) -e $(BUILDENV) pem.h; $(MAKE) clean)

install: all install_sw

install_sw:
@$(PERL) $(TOP)/util/mkdir-p.pl $(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(INSTALLTOP)/bin \
$(INSTALL_PREFIX)$(INSTALLTOP)/$(LIBDIR) \

...

Make & Install

make depend
make all
sudo -E make install

If we are errors free, continue copying the following files:

sudo cp /usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig/libssl.pc /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/
sudo cp /usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig/libcrypto.pc /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/

sudo cp /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib64/
sudo cp /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib64/

cd

Bitcoin

Official Bitcoin download source & Install

cd
wget https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.1/bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz
tar xvfz bitcoin-0.9.0-linux.tar.gz
cd bitcoin-0.9.0-linux/src/
tar xvfz bitcoin-0.9.0.tar.gz
cd bitcoin-0.9.0/

If it does not, review all the previous steps and repeat.

Make, Install & Execute (Note "d" after bitcoin. We use Bitcoin wallet as daemon)

make
sudo make install
bitcoind

Expected output:

$ bitcoind
Error: To use the "-server" option, you must set a rpcpassword in the configuration file:
/home/ec2-user/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
It is recommended you use the following random password:
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=abcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcd
(you do not need to remember this password)
The username and password MUST NOT be the same.
If the file does not exist, create it with owner-readable-only file permissions.
It is also recommended to set alertnotify so you are notified of problems;
for example: alertnotify=echo %s | mail -s "Bitcoin Alert" admin@foo.com

Bitcoind is telling us that we need a minimal configuration file to start with. With the first execution the .bitcoin folder is automatically created under our user directory.

cd
cd .bitcoin

vim bitcoin.conf

You can begin with this basic configuration file (Manual page).

server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=<A LONG & UNIQUE USERNAME HERE>
rpcpassword=<A VERY GOOD PASSWORD HERE>

Let's try again:

bitcoind

And the expected result on console:

Bitcoin server starting

and now the debug.log file should be moving. We can see the initialization process and messages like these:

This is our wallet loading and verifying all the Bitcoin blockchain. When the process is complete your wallet will become a node of the Bitcoin network and will help validating Bitcoin transactions. It could take more than 24 hours for the process to complete. You can learn more about this here.
There is a way to speed up this process by downloading a Torrent file. More details at the end of this post.

You can issue commands to interact with the daemon. For instance:

bitcoind getblockcount

to get the number of blocks imported so far. Type bitcoind help for the whole list.

Initializing Blockchain database using Torrent

bitcoind stop
sudo yum install transmission-cli
cd ~/.bitcoin
transmission-cli https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent
bitcoind -loadblock=~/.bitcoin/bootstrap.dat
