Installation Instructions

[RichardHubb88]

Hello :-) Just having a look at this as looking into multi-chain and seeing whats around for ideas.

I've installed the server & client - followed the instructions I can find.

Managed to get to wizard/new but I get something went wrong when I try to type a blockchain name in

I have the server running - and npm start is going - I see a website repo but unsure if thats needed/should be installed?

I've chmod the multichain-cli etc so it has permissions just unsure what else I can do :-)

Hi @RichardHubb88,

Looks like your setup is nearly working! You are correct that you just need talos-org/server and talos-org/client, as talos-org/website is source code for the talos website which is under construction at talos.now.sh.

A few questions to help diagnose the problem:

• When you type a new blockchain name you are clicking on another field after, then the field validation returns an error message saying "something went wrong"? If this is the case this is commonly caused by the client not being able to reach the talos server and the request timing out.
• Which port is your talos server running on? Currently the talos client requires the server to be running on port 5000
• Have you modified/created the .env file in your talos client directory? If you have created it did you modify it to use a custom REACT_APP_BASE_URL?
• If you open up the url in your browser for the Swagger docs of the server e.g. http://localhost:5000/api/ and click the /configuration/check_blockchain_name GET endpoint, click Try it out, type the same blockchain name, then click Execute, what response do you get from the talos server?
