Installation

Install rai

You can install rai via pip, the Python package manager:

pip install rai

Install node

rai requires a running Raiblocks node with RPC enabled. This can be the standalone rai_node, the rai_wallet GUI or any other compatible implementation.

• You can download the latest release of rai_node and rai_wallet here.
• A Docker image is also available.
• Read the instructions on configuring and running rai_node as a service.

Node config

In your config.json, ensure RPC is enabled and the node is listening to your local interface.

"rpc_enable": "true",
    "rpc": {
        "address": "::1",
        "port": "7076",
        "enable_control": "true",
        "frontier_request_limit": "16384",
        "chain_request_limit": "16384"
    }

You can verify your node is running using curl:

curl -g -d '{ "action": "version" }' [::1]:7076

If your node uses a different port or is on a different host, you need to set the following enviroment variables:

RAI_HOST=<your_host> (default: [::1])
RAI_PORT=<your_port> (default: 7076)
