Trouble installing Validator-Keys-Tool
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Hello,
I'm trying to host my own Rippled Validator and as a part of the process, I need to generate a key using the 'Validator-Keys-Tool.'
I've been stuck on a particular step in the process and though I would ask to see if you had any insight into the issue. I'm sure I will eventually figure it out but if it's something anyone is familiar with, any assistance would be appreciated.
Following the README for this project, I cloned the repository, "CD'ed" into the directory and executed in bash: "cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../.."
That's where I get stuck. Here's a log of the situation:

do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you!
It looks like one of the secondary dependencies moved its github location and it seems like the submodule links don't always follow redirects. The simplest fix it to update to the latest release of rippled/xrpl_core, so I have done that in master. Unfortunately that also brings a boost 1.70 requirement, so you will have to rebuild boost as well (sorry!)
If you prefer not to hassle with building this from source, we do provide a compiled validator_keys_tool in the rippled rpm and deb packages (https://xrpl.org/install-rippled.html) - not sure if one of those would work for you.
Running into a simliar issue trying to build the validator_keys_tool, is the compiled binary still included in .deb and .rpm packages ? Ive tried installing via repos and it just has the node/daemon and no validator_keys_tool binary , help!
The binary will be named validator-keys, and it should be available in the packages.
Ed thanks for the reply
