How to run a Mainnet wallet node

The wallet node is built on MASS full node with mining functionality removed. There are two ways to run a wallet node: use the GUI client or binary file.

To run a wallet node using GUI client:

  1. Make sure your PC is 64-bit and have at least 2GB of free local storage space for saving data.
  2. Download the latest wallet client(Mac or Windows) from https://massnet.org/en/download.
  3. Run the downloaded file to install client.
  4. Launch the client from Launchpad(Mac) or Start menu(Windows).

To run a wallet node using binary file:

  1. Make sure your PC is 64-bit and have at least 2GB of free local storage space for saving data.
  2. Download the appropriate wallet binary archive for your OS from https://massnet.org/en/download.
  3. Extract the downloaded file to any folder. E.g. c:\mass on Windows or ~/Documents/mass on Mac.

  4. Open a Terminal(Mac) or Command Prompt(Windows), then enter the folder mentioned in previous step.

    On Mac: You could 1) either open your Applications folder, then open Utilities and double-click on Terminal, or 2) press Command - spacebar to launch Spotlight and type "Terminal," then double-click the search result.

    You can press the Shift key and right-click on the folder to open a PowerShell window directly to that folder.
