To install go-lachesis you will need golang version 13 or higher and make
Update your environment
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
Install build-essential to install make
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.13.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvf go1.13.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv go /usr/local
Setup golang environment variables

mkdir -p $HOME/go/src/github.com/Fantom-foundation
cd $HOME/go/src/github.com/Fantom-foundation/
git clone https://github.com/Fantom-foundation/go-lachesis.git
cd go-lachesis/
make build
Confirm your go-lachesis version
./build/lachesis help
VERSION:
0.5.0-rc.1
COMMANDS:
account Manage accounts
attach Start an interactive JavaScript environment (connect to node)
console Start an interactive JavaScript environment
dumpconfig Show configuration values
js Execute the specified JavaScript files
wallet Manage Ethereum presale wallets
help Shows a list of commands or help for one command
Download the default genesis config mainnet.toml:
cd $HOME/go/src/github.com/Fantom-foundation/go-lachesis/build/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Fantom-foundation/lachesis_launch/master/mainnet.toml
Start your node
./lachesis --config mainnet.toml --nousb
First we need to setup a new account to receive funds in;
./lachesis account new
Follow the prompts and supply the password, you will receive output;
Your new key was generated
Public address of the key: 0x
Path of the secret key file:
- You can share your public address with anyone. Others need it to interact with you.
- You must NEVER share the secret key with anyone! The key controls access to your funds!
- You must BACKUP your key file! Without the key, it's impossible to access account funds!
- You must REMEMBER your password! Without the password, it's impossible to decrypt the key!
- [Prenet] Contact the Opera validator group to receive funds
- [Mainnet] Use the bridge to transfer from bep2, erc20, xar to opera
Attach to your running node
./lachesis attach

Stop your current lachesis process
Create an unlock file for the account password
Start the node
./lachesis --config mainnet.toml --nousb --validator 0x --unlock 0x --password /path/to/password
Install nodejs, npm and pm2
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
sudo npm i -g pm2
Create a script to run the node
touch runNode.sh
chmod +x runNode.sh
and put in the following content
#!/bin/sh
$HOME/go/src/github.com/Fantom-foundation/go-lachesis/build/lachesis --config $HOME/go/src/github.com/Fantom-foundation/go-lachesis/build/mainnet.toml --nousb --validator 0x --unlock 0x --password /path/to/password
Create the pm2 config file
touch ecosystem.config.js
and put in the following content
module.exports = { apps : [ { name: "fantom", script: "$HOME/runNode.sh", exec_mode: "fork", exec_interpreter: "bash"} ] }
Start the pm2 process
pm2 start ./ecosystem.config.js
Use following commands
// Check node status
pm2 status
// Check node logs
pm2 logs
// Create an autostart script to automatically run the node on server startup
pm2 save
First check balance to ensure that balance is greater than required balance;
ftm.getBalance("0x")
Default gas limit is 21000 and gas price is 1000000000, so minimum funds should be > 2100000000000
If sufficient Balance, the local DB and state have not yet synced. Stop and restart your ./lachesis node and retry
Switch to lachesis working directory
cd $HOME/go/src/github.com/Fantom-foundation/go-lachesis
Update and build latest version
git pull origin master
make build
Build output is found in ./build Switch to build directory and remove previous genesis
rm $HOME/go/src/github.com/Fantom-foundation/go-lachesis/build/*.toml
rm -r $HOME/.lachesis/*-ldb
Deploy new genesis and start
