Set Up Planetmint, Tarantool and Tendermint

We now install and configure software that must run in every Planetmint node: Planetmint Server, Tarantool and Tendermint.

Install Planetmint Server

Planetmint Server requires Python 3.9+, 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

Planetmint Server requires gevent, 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 Planetmint Server. You can find the latest version by going to the Planetmint project release history page on PyPI. For example, to install version 2.2.2, you would do:

# Change 2.0.0 to the latest version as explained above:
sudo pip3 install planetmint==2.2.2

Check that you installed the correct version of Planetmint Server using planetmint --version.

Configure Planetmint Server

To configure Planetmint Server, run:

planetmint 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 Planetmint config settings.

If you're using NGINX, then you should edit your Planetmint config file (in $HOME/.planetmint 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) Tarantool

Install a recent version of Tarantool. Planetmint Server requires version 3.4 or newer.

curl -L https://tarantool.io/DDJLJzv/release/2.8/installer.sh | bash

sudo apt-get -y install tarantool

Sharding with Tarantool

If the load on a single node becomes to large Tarantool allows for sharding to scale horizontally. For more information on how to setup sharding with Tarantool please refer to the official Tarantool documentation.

Install Tendermint

The version of Planetmint 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
