Installation

From Pfyshnet

• Once you have downloaded the latest release, unzip it in a directory you want to run your node from.

• Double click on the pfyshnet.jar file, and your node is now running!!
  • For Linux run java -jar pfyshnet.jar ( we recommend running Pfyshnet on Linux! )
  • For both Linux and Windows you need to be running at least java 5.0
  • Note that you'll need to allow pfyshnet to accept incoming connections.
  • Before you can use your node, it must generate encryption keys, which can take a LONG time! Please just leave it running. Soon enough you'll be enjoying Pfyshnet!
  • If you are using a router for your internet connection you'll need to use port forwarding.
  • You should leave your node on even if you are not actively using it. This will help your security, and be better for the network

• A GUI will open when you start pfyshnet.
  • The first time you run pfyshnet it will generate encryption keys for your node. During this time you cannot use the GUI. Go to Edit->Settings to turn off poll for return data.
  • It can take a long time to generate keys depending on your hardware. Up to a day.
  • Click the "Check status" icon on the tool bar (blue circle with i). When no dialog box pops up, your node is ready to be used.
  • Once your node is ready turn back on poll for return data in settings.

• If you want to run the Node and GUI from separate command windows or terminals (to watch the stdout messages).
  • Open a command window to run the node from.
  • cd to the run directory.
  • Enter: java -Xmx256m -jar pfyshnet.jar -node
  • Open a command window to run the gui from.
  • cd to the run directory.
  • Enter: java -Xmx256m -jar pfyshnet.jar -gui
