Filip, it would be helpful during the EOS installation module if you added more explanation to each of parameters when running nodeos.
Command from module:
nodeos -e -p eosio --genesis-json eos.json --delete-all-blocks --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::history_api_plugin --contracts-console
Hi all ,
siege17 hi , did this command go through without errors for you ?
nodeos -e -p eosio --genesis-json eos.json --delete-all-blocks --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::history_api_plugin --contracts-console

Could you post the error here? Did the installation and build pass successfully?
hi filip ,
yes i will post as soon as I have finished re running it with some changes . I will post immediately after
.I think the new compilation may be more successful i now will run that command again and post back the result
hi again ,
ok so I ran the eos build sh and it went through , after this the eos system page appeared and i had some commands to check the installation. The first 28 checks passed successfully but then the nodes failed
Total Test time (real) = 1656.80 sec
The following tests FAILED:
29 - nodeos_run_test (Failed)
30 - nodeos_run_remote_test (Failed)
31 - distributed-transactions-test (Failed)
32 - distributed-transactions-remote-test (Failed)
Did you do the sudo make install? Or do you have anything else running on port 8888?

Running linux as subsystem is a better option for installing on windows. You share the same resources and file structure.
Windows Store has one click install for Ubuntu once you enable the Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux feature as seen in the article you provided.
You install and configure Unbuntu then you can pick up where Filip installs eos via git at 10:30.
Great course,
Shawn

I was able to get nodeos running blocks successfully the first time with :
sudo nodeos -e -p eosio --genesis-json shawnrmossgen.json --delete-all-blocks --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::history_api_plugin
I can stop nodeos and start it again with :
sudo nodeos -e -p eosio --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::history_api_plugin
But now when I run :
cleos get info
Error 3110001: Missing Chain API PluginEnsure that you have eosio::chain_api_plugin added to your node’s configuration!Error Details:
Chain API plugin is not enabled
When nodeos does not shut down properly I get:
sudo nodeos -e -p eosio --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::history_api_plugin[sudo] password for mocypher:2632771ms thread-0 chain_plugin.cpp:151 plugin_initialize ] initializing chain plugin

I would try to run it with the replay-blockchain flag. So the full command becomes nodeos -e -p eosio --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::history_api_plugin --replay-blockchain

Thanks filip. That cleared the issue I was having with the database dirty flag.
I then started getting - Not producing block because the irreversible block is too old.
My fix:
nodeos -e -p eosio --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::history_api_plugin --max-irreversible-block-age 99999999
Shawn.
Fillip, (or someone) – I have run the build script and validated with test 36/36 no issues, But I go to launch the Node testnet and I get “Permission denied”. Any hints on where I’m missing something? I am a newbie, so I’m sure it’s a simple step. Cheers.
I think it might have something to do with Keosd and creating wallet and accounts.
Try starting nodeos with sudo infront of it. So begin the line with sudo. “Sudo nodeos -e -p…”
You are the Man! …Thanks
I have no idea why that worked
When I try to run sudo nodeos -e -p eosio --genesis-json filipgen.json --delete-all-blocks --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin --plugin eosio::history_api_plugin --contracts-console I get this error:
Can someone please help me?

Thank you, it helped
