Installation option of Drive.

For the executable on installing Neuron, will there be an option on future releases for the end user to select the drive/file location of the installation?

Hi @joshyates1980

I just went through the technical document roughly and found it's possible to specify the installation directory on windows. We'll have a try and deliver it in the next several versions if it works.

This feature could be tracked by Magickbase/neuron-public-issues#92

FYI, the most space-consuming directory, which includes data of ckb node, could be set in Setting/Preference -> Data -> CKB Node Config & Storage

Thank you for the reply. I currently run the full node on my D: drive. It seems since I moved the full node from C: drive to D: drive during this last upgrade of ckb_v0.106.0_x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, my Neuron would not work on the C: drive. Ultimately, I would enjoy to run both full node and neuron on my D: drive.

This would also be a nice feature, the option to move from C: drive to D: drive.

Full node and neuron both use the same ports by default. I couldn't start full node without turning Neuron off. You would have to adjust the port settings to make them both run on the same IP address.

Hi, if you want to start an external ckb node, you can create a new network and switch to it. If we choose the Internal Node, the Neuron will start an internal ckb node.
