Installing the timelord on Debian / Ubuntu

1. To run a timelord, you need a synchronized full node of BPX Chain. If you don't already have it, follow the steps of this tutorial first.

2. The timelord software is not included in official binary .deb / .rpm releases. You have to build it from the source code. Login as root and install the git client first.

apt-get install git

3. The timelord installer script requires root access to install some dependencies from APT repositories. Add BPX services user to sudoers by the following command:

usermod -a -G sudo bpxv3

4. Now it's time to switch to BPX services user:

su - bpxv3

4. Fetch the source code of the latest Beacon Client release:

git clone https://github.com/bpx-network/bpx-beacon-client

5. Install the Beacon Client from the source. This may take several minutes.

cd bpx-beacon-client
. install.sh

6. Install the timelord:

. install-timelord.sh
