# Set Up BigchainDB, MongoDB and Tendermint
|
|
|
|
We now install and configure software that must run
|
|
in every BigchainDB node: BigchainDB Server,
|
|
MongoDB and Tendermint.
|
|
|
|
## Install BigchainDB Server
|
|
|
|
BigchainDB Server requires **Python 3.6+**, so make sure your system has it.
|
|
|
|
Install the required OS-level packages:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# For Ubuntu 18.04:
|
|
sudo apt install -y python3-pip libssl-dev
|
|
# Ubuntu 16.04, and other Linux distros, may require other packages or more packages
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
BigchainDB Server requires [gevent](http://www.gevent.org/), and to install gevent, you must use pip 19 or later (as of 2019, because gevent now uses manylinux2010 wheels). Upgrade pip to the latest version:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo pip3 install -U pip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now install the latest version of BigchainDB Server.
|
|
You can find the latest version by going
|
|
to the [BigchainDB project release history page on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/BigchainDB/#history).
|
|
For example, to install version 2.0.0, you would do:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Change 2.0.0 to the latest version as explained above:
|
|
sudo pip3 install bigchaindb==2.0.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check that you installed the correct version of BigchainDB Server using `bigchaindb --version`.
|
|
|
|
## Configure BigchainDB Server
|
|
|
|
To configure BigchainDB Server, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bigchaindb configure
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The first question is ``API Server bind? (default `localhost:9984`)``.
|
|
|
|
* If you're using NGINX (e.g. if you want HTTPS),
|
|
then accept the default value (`localhost:9984`).
|
|
* If you're not using NGINX, then enter the value `0.0.0.0:9984`
|
|
|
|
You can accept the default value for all other BigchainDB config settings.
|
|
|
|
If you're using NGINX, then you should edit your BigchainDB config file
|
|
(in `$HOME/.bigchaindb` by default) and set the following values
|
|
under `"wsserver"`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
"advertised_scheme": "wss",
|
|
"advertised_host": "bnode.example.com",
|
|
"advertised_port": 443
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
where `bnode.example.com` should be replaced by your node's actual subdomain.
|
|
|
|
## Install (and Start) MongoDB
|
|
|
|
Install a recent version of MongoDB.
|
|
BigchainDB Server requires version 3.4 or newer.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install mongodb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you install MongoDB using the above command (which installs the `mongodb` package),
|
|
it also configures MongoDB, starts MongoDB (in the background),
|
|
and installs a MongoDB startup script
|
|
(so that MongoDB will be started automatically when the machine is restarted).
|
|
|
|
Note: The `mongodb` package is _not_ the official MongoDB package
|
|
from MongoDB the company. If you want to install the official MongoDB package,
|
|
please see
|
|
[the MongoDB documentation](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/).
|
|
Note that installing the official package _doesn't_ also start MongoDB.
|
|
|
|
## Install Tendermint
|
|
|
|
The version of BigchainDB Server described in these docs only works well
|
|
with Tendermint 0.31.5 (not a higher version number). Install that:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install -y unzip
|
|
wget https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/releases/download/v0.31.5/tendermint_v0.31.5_linux_amd64.zip
|
|
unzip tendermint_v0.31.5_linux_amd64.zip
|
|
rm tendermint_v0.31.5_linux_amd64.zip
|
|
sudo mv tendermint /usr/local/bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Start Configuring Tendermint
|
|
|
|
You won't be able to finish configuring Tendermint until you have some information
|
|
from the other nodes in the network, but you can start by doing:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tendermint init
|
|
```
|
