  3. "Recent" version of Node.js (8+ recommended).

Instructions

  1. Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/waqas64/btc-rpc-explorer
  2. npm install
  3. npm run build
  4. Edit the "rpc" settings in app/credentials.js to target your node
  5. Optional: Change the "coin" value in app/config.js.
  6. Optional: Add an ipstack.com API access key to app/credentials.js. Doing so will add a map to the /peers page.
