Running

Prerequisites

This guide assumes you have the following tools:

• Git
• Cardano Node
• Cardano DB Sync

Download Configuration Files

Create a directory to store configs

mkdir -p ~/src/cardano-environments/{mainnet,preprod,preview,sanchonet}
cd ~/src/cardano-environments

Download the configuration files for the desired environment here: https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments.html

For example, the following commands will download mainnet configs:

curl --remote-name-all --output-dir mainnet \
    https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments/mainnet/config.json \
    https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments/mainnet/db-sync-config.json \
    https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments/mainnet/submit-api-config.json \
    https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments/mainnet/topology.json \
    https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments/mainnet/byron-genesis.json \
    https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments/mainnet/shelley-genesis.json \
    https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments/mainnet/alonzo-genesis.json \
    https://book.world.dev.cardano.org/environments/mainnet/conway-genesis.json

Start Cardano Node

cardano-node run \
    --config ~/src/cardano-environments/config.json
    --topology ~/src/cardano-environments/topology.json \
    --database-path ~/src/cardano-environments/mainnet/db \
    --socket-path node.socket \
    --host-addr 0.0.0.0 

Start the DB Sync Node

Open another terminal and enter the cardano-db-sync repository directory:

cd ~/src/cardano-db-sync

Finally, we can start cardano-db-sync:

PGPASSFILE=config/pgpass-mainnet cardano-db-sync -- \
    --config ~/src/cardano-environments/mainnet/config.json \
    --socket-path ~/src/cardano-environments/mainnet/node.socket \
    --state-dir ~/src/cardano-environments/mainnet/ledger-state \
    --schema-dir schema/
