Bitcore Node Titus
A Titus full node for building applications and services with Node.js. A node is extensible and can be configured to run additional services. At the minimum a node has an interface to Titus Core v0.12.1.x for more advanced address queries. Additional services can be enabled to make a node more useful such as exposing new APIs, running a block explorer and wallet service.
Install
npm install -g bitcore-node-titus
Prerequisites
- Titus Core (v0.12.1.x) with support for additional indexing (see above)
- Node.js v0.10, v0.12, v4 or v5
- ZeroMQ (libzmq3-dev for Ubuntu/Debian or zeromq on OSX)
- ~20GB of disk storage

Configuration
Bitcore includes a Command Line Interface (CLI) for managing, configuring and interfacing with your Bitcore Node.
bitcore-node-titus create -d <titus-data-dir> mynode
cd mynode
bitcore-node-titus install <service>
bitcore-node-titus install https://github.com/yourname/helloworld
bitcore-node-titus start
This will create a directory with configuration files for your node and install the necessary dependencies.
