You could probably use the testnet instead. If you want to try, check out the lecture about test/main net.

Hi
While installing eos on Ubuntu I’m getting following error like ags_83 and kryptoholik:

-- Auto-configuring bsoncxx to use MNMLSTC for polyfills since C++17 is inactive
CMake Error at src/bsoncxx/CMakeLists.txt:86 (find_package):
  Could not find a configuration file for package "libbson-static-1.0" that
  is compatible with requested version "1.10.0".

  The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

    /usr/local/lib/cmake/libbson-static-1.0/libbson-static-1.0-config.cmake, version: 1.9.3



-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/tmp/mongo-cxx-driver/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
	Cmake has encountered the above errors building the MongoDB C++ driver.

	Exiting now.

But as Filip suggested I’ve ‘then’ on line 339, which seems odd to replace. But line 314 more like to be replaced.

Hey,

Worked like a charm. Managed to compile and start a working eos node based on filips instructions with the following adjustments:

git checkout -f tags/dawn-v4.2.0
Edit eosio_build_ubuntu.sh file and replace the existing git clone command of the mongo driver with the following: “git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-cxx-driver.git --branch releases/v3.2 --depth 1” (it’s somewhere around line 320)
to correct the build error “path mongo-cxx-driver already exists”, I used the solution described in the following thread: https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/issues/3197

BTW: I am using Windows 10 with VMVirtualBox containg Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Hi Filip,

I have the same error on Mac OS installation.
Unable to clone MongoDB C++ driver at this time

What should I do?

Thanks

Windows 10 Running. No virtual box installed. Running Linux as subsystem is much better.

filip · August 14, 2018, 1:06pm

Did you try the fix I posted above?

Everything was going fine till I tried this command… and got this response:

Did you run the sudo make install command in the build folder?

I keep running into this issue and I’d like some guidance please! Thank you!

kissracing98 · August 23, 2018, 8:16pm

Honestly not sure how I got it to work but I have successfully installed EOS now.

dereck · August 27, 2018, 9:57am

you should insert: cd eos between the first two lines…

dereck · August 27, 2018, 4:36pm

Hi Filip,

I have finally found a way to install everything. (no fun!) Ready to start producing… and then this:
-bash nodeos not found

I’m kinda stuck…

Update:
I have found the solution, had to add the binary path to my terminal…

filip · August 29, 2018, 1:55pm

I’m happy you found the solution. Good luck with EOS!

dufdavid · August 31, 2018, 3:13pm

Hi,
I’m having this error: nodeos --extract-genesis-json ddgen.json
-bash: nodeos: command not found

damianjnc · September 2, 2018, 4:12am

I got that error what to do ?

filip · September 2, 2018, 8:11am

Did you guys run sudo make install in the build folder? @damianjnc @dufdavid

dufdavid · September 2, 2018, 5:08pm

Yes Filip. I did it.

damianjnc · September 2, 2018, 6:06pm

Hi Filip, yes, i did

filip · September 3, 2018, 2:19pm

Can you check if you find the nodeos binary in any of these directories? If so, you need to att that to your PATH env var.
/usr/local/eosio/bin
usr/local/share/eosio/nodeos

But check first to see if they are there and then I can help you from there.

damianjnc · September 3, 2018, 2:27pm

that’s what I’ve got:
