Getting started

The below instructions are geared toward BTC, but can be adapted easily to other coins.

Prerequisites

2. Synchronize your node with the Bitcoin network.
3. "Recent" version of Node.js (8+ recommended).

Instructions

npm install -g btc-rpc-explorer
btc-rpc-explorer

If you're running on mainnet with the default datadir and port, this Should Just Work. Open http://127.0.0.1:3002/ to view the explorer.

You may set configuration options in a .env file or using CLI args. See configuration for details.
