Installation

Installation scripts overview

• toninstaller.sh: clones TON and mytonctrl sources to /usr/src/ton and/usr/src/mytonctrl folders, compiles programs from sources and writes them to /usr/bin/.
• mytoninstaller.py: configures the validator and mytonctrl; generates validator connection keys.

Installation modes

There are two installation modes: liteserver and validator. They both compile and install TON components and run the node/validator. Use liteserver mode if you want to use your node as Liteserver only. Use validator mode if you want to participate in the validator elections (you still can use that node as Liteserver).

   sudo bash install.sh -m <mode>

2. Done. You can try to run the mytonctrl console now.

Telemetry

By default, mytonctrl sends validator statistics to the https://toncenter.com server. It is necessary to identify network abnormalities, as well as to quickly give feedback to developers. To disable telemetry during installation, use the -t flag:

sudo bash install.sh -m <mode> -t

To disable telemetry after installation, do the following:

MyTonCtrl> set sendTelemetry false

MyTonCtrl installer mode

Web admin panel

To control the node/validator through the browser, you need to install an additional module: mytonctrl -> installer -> enable JR

Next, you need to create a password for connection: mytonctrl -> installer -> setwebpass

Ready. Now you can go to https://tonadmin.org site and log in with your credentials. git: https://github.com/igroman787/mtc-jsonrpc

Local copy of toncenter

To set up a local https://toncenter.com copy on your server, install an additional module: mytonctrl ->installer -> enable PT
