Installing RNode
We deliver RNode software in a variety of installation packages. Installation packages are available at both RChain and Github. We recommend using the latest release.
In the command examples below, you must update based on the version number of RNode you want by replacing "x" with the numbers in your installation version.
Should there be errors, when you install RNode for the first time, please make shure that you have the newest Java version installed.
