Two Ways to run a node on Tezos alphabet
1.use alphabet.sh.
2.compiling the source code (github alphanet branch https://github.com/tezos/tezos.git).
I try both, first one is recommend by Tezos, the second one may be a little bit trouble.i choose the first one ,more details are shown below
1.Run a node
(1)Install Docker(https://www.docker.com/community-edition)
(2)Download alphanet.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tezos/tezos/alphanet/scripts/
alphanet.sh
chmod +x alphanet.sh
(3)Star running node
./alphanet.sh start
If it appear Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/tezos/tezos/manifests/alphanet: net/http: TLS handshake timeout, restart directly.
it need a while to synchronize the data on the blockchain after initialization, be patient.
(4)After the 3 step, the net will create a crypto ID (default: my_identity) and a account(default: my_account).
2.Account Balance
(1)Create a account , it will generate 1,000,000 tezzies
./alphanet.sh client originate free account "my_account" for “my_identity"
(2)Check balance
./alphanet.sh client get balance for “my_account"
3.Attain the staking right, be a baker
(1)Delegated for "my_account" to “my_identity”,attain staking rights
./alphanet.sh client set delegate for "my_account" to “my_identity”
According to the description of Tezos, this step requires to wait for couple hours, and the mainnet, it requires 2 weeks or one month.
(2)In order to produce block, it need to prepare bond,
./alphanet.sh client transfer 50,000.00 from "my_account" to "my_identity"
(3)Wait and check the baker log
./alphanet.sh baker log
Finally, if it appear Injected block BLxzbB7PBW1axq for bootstrap5 after BLSrg4dXzL2aqq.it means you are baking now.
Alphanet’s reward is 150XTZ, and it will be transmitted in 24 hours.
PS:alphabet.sh is more easier, but you should wait for a couple time. And some bugs may appear, just ignore them, and restart.
