apt-get install gitadduser explorerusermod -aG sudo explorer- Ensure your coin RPC is running
su explorerbash <( curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bulwark-crypto/bulwark-explorer/master/script/install.sh )
Check block syncing status with tail -f /home/explorer/blockex/tmp/block.log
You will most likely see Error: connect ECONNREFUSED this is because your RPC username/password/port do not match your coin. Please check your coin .config file (ex: /home/explorer/.bulwark/bulwark.conf)
You will see something like this:
rpcport=52541
rpcuser=someuserhere
rpcpassword=somepasswordhere
daemon=1
txindex=1
Please ensure your /home/explorer/blockex/config.js matches the rpc information of your coin.
This repo assumes git, mongodb, node, yarn, and are installed with configuration done. Please adjust commands to your local environment.

It is also required to have the Bulwark daemon running in the background. It is recommended to set this up before beginning to set up the explorer so that it syncs by the time you need it.
Our geniuses here at BulwarkCorp™ have put together a script to Install Bulwark daemon. Just run bash script/bulwarkd_setup.sh
This will install the latest Bulwark wallet and create a rpc username/password before starting the daemon.
git clone https://github.com/bulwark-crypto/bulwark-explorer.git - copy repo to local folder.
cd blockex - change into project directory.
yarn install - install packages used by the system.
cp config.template.js config.js - setup configuration using template.
mongo - connect using mongo client.
use blockex - switch to database.
db.createUser( { user: "blockexuser", pwd: "Explorer!1", roles: [ "readWrite" ] } ) - create a user with the values stored in the config.js file from above, meaning they should match.
exit - exit the mongo client.
IMPORTANT: You should not build the frontend using the same config.js file as created above or you WILL LEAK sensitive database information.
On the local development machine, not the server/VPS, run cp config.template.js config.js to create new configuration file that will have the UI information in it.
IMPORTANT: You should have two config.js files, one for the server with the sensitive database connection information, and one that is used by the developer/designer on their local machine to configure and build the UI.
The following automated tasks are currently needed for BlockEx to update but before running the tasks please update the cron script /path/to/blockex/script/cron_block.sh for the block with the local /path/to/node.
yarn run cron:coin - will fetch coin related information like price and supply from coinmarketcap.com.
yarn run cron:masternode - updates the masternodes list in the database with the most recent information clearing old information before.
yarn run cron:peer - gather the list of peers and fetch geographical IP information.
yarn run cron:block - will sync blocks and transactions by storing them in the database.
yarn run cron:rich - generate the rich list.
Note: is is recommended to run all the crons before editing the crontab to have the information right away. Follow the order above, start with cron:coin and end with cron:rich.
To setup the crontab please see run crontab -e to edit the crontab and paste the following lines (edit with your local information):
*/1 * * * * cd /path/to/blockex && ./script/cron_block.sh >> ./tmp/block.log 2>&1
*/1 * * * * cd /path/to/blockex && /path/to/node ./cron/masternode.js >> ./tmp/masternode.log 2>&1

At this time only the client web interface needs to be built using webpack and this can be done by running yarn run build:web. This will bundle the application and put it in the /public folder for delivery.
yarn run start:api - will start the api.
yarn run start:web - will start the web, open browser http://localhost:8081.
yarn run test:client - will run the client side tests.
yarn run test:server - will test the rpc connection, database connection, and api endpoints.
client/App.jsx - Contains all react routes to components (using react-router-dom)
client/core/Reducers.jsx - Contains all reducers used in redux connect() mapping (using react-redux)
client/core/Actions.jsx - Contains all actions used in redux connect() mapping (using react-redux)
server/route/api.js - Contains all public rest api endpoint routes
