AIPG Core

Setup

AIPGcoin Core is the original AIPGcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of AIPGcoin transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process is typically complete in under an hour.

To download compiled binaries of the AIPGcoin Core and wallet, visit the GitHub release page.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run AIPGcoin on your native platform.

Linux

1. Download and extract binaries to desired folder.

2. Install distribution-specific dependencies listed below.

3. Run the GUI wallet or only the AIPGcoin core deamon

   a. GUI wallet:

   ./aipg-qt

   b. Core deamon:

   ./aipgd -deamon

Ubuntu

Update apt cache and install general dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libevent-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev libzmq5 software-properties-common

The wallet requires version 4.8 of the Berkeley DB. The easiest way to get it is to build it with the script contrib/install_db4.sh

The GUI wallet requires the QR Code encoding library. Install with:

sudo apt install libqrencode3

Fedora 27

Install general dependencies:

sudo dnf install zeromq libevent boost libdb4-cxx miniupnpc

The GUI wallet requires the QR Code encoding library and Google's data interchange format Protocol Buffers. Install with:

sudo dnf install qrencode protobuf

CentOS 7

Add the EPEL repository and install general depencencies:

sudo yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install zeromq libevent boost libdb4-cxx miniupnpc

The GUI wallet requires the QR Code encoding library and Google's data interchange format Protocol Buffers. Install with:

sudo yum install qrencode protobuf

OS X

1. Download AIPG-Qt.dmg.

2. Double click the DMG to mount it.

3. Drag AIPG Core icon to the Applications Folder

4. Open the Applications folder and Launch AIPG Core. The client will begin synchronizing with the network.

Note: You may get the follow error on first launch:

Dyld Error Message:
  Library not loaded: @loader_path/libboost_system-mt.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/AIPG-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks/libboost_thread-mt.dylib
  Reason: image not found

To resolve, you will need to copy libboost_system.dylib to libboost_system-mt.dylib in the /Applications/AIPG-Qt.app/Contents/Frameworks folder

Windows

1. Download windows-x86_64.zip and unpack executables to desired folder.

2. Double click the aipg-qt.exe to launch it.
