You may want to test the node in a safe environment before running a mainnet node. The testnet configuration allows to experiment and run tests without affecting the mainnet.
-
Automatic installation
You can use the installation script to automatically install the node for testnet:
# Fetches the script and install the latest stable ADAMANT version using testnet config sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://adamant.im/install_node.sh)" -O -b master -n testnet -j jod
This will create
test/config.jsonfile, which you can edit as needed. -
Manually setup
To manually set up and run a local test node, copy the default config file and edit your copy:
cp test/config.default.json test/config.json
To start the testnet node:
npm run start:testnetRefer to CONTRIBUTING.md.
- A bootstrap snapshot of the testnet database is available for download (the installation script also supports bootstrapping): https://testnet.adamant.im/db_test_backup.sql.gz
- The testnet explorer: testnet.adamant.im
- Request testnet ADM coins (3500 ADM) via the same faucet as mainnet: Faucet
- Access the testnet messenger app (dev branch autobuild): Testnet messenger
- You can view the IPs and ports of testnet nodes in the test/config.default.json file.
