Bolero is a desktop application for various environments (Windows, Mac, Linux) to easily run an IOTA full node.
These instructions will get you a copy of this project running on your machine.
You need Java to have installed on your machine.
You also need to open ports (port forwarding) in your NAT Router:
- UDP 14600
- TCP 15600
- TCP 16600
Please refer to your Router's manual on how to do that.
Download a package corresponding to your OS from releases, unpack, click the executable. On Linux, you might need to start bolero.run from the command line.
There is not much to do here. This is still barebone. Just start the app. Everything runs on default ports and cofigurations.
The app appears as a carrot symbol in your tray/task bar.
First start might take a while, since Bolero downloads IRI (full node package) and a snapshot of the database, which is over 5GB in size. So the first start might take some time.
Once Bolero is running as is synced, you can use it as a full node for your IOTA wallet with this address:
http://localhost:14265
Right click on the carrot in your tray/task bar and select "Exit".
npm install
npm run build
# Run development version
npm run dev
# Package binaries
npm run package
Shut down Bolero, download the new version. Start it. Database and snapshots are preserved.
In the User's home directory in a folder called .bolero
The longer you have been offline (not running Bolero), the longer it takes. Also, make sure that your ports are open (refer to the prerequisites instructions above.)
