Pre-requisites

Installing MultiChain on Linux

$ cd /tmp
$ wget https://www.multichain.com/download/multichain-1.0.6.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf multichain-1.0.6.tar.gz
$ cd multichain-1.0.6
$ mv multichaind multichain-cli multichain-util /usr/local/bin (to make easily accessible on the command line)

Installing MultiChain on Windows

Download https://www.multichain.com/download/multichain-windows-1.0.6.zip and extract its contents to your chosen directory.

Testing

Test by checking that you are able to access multichaind, multichain-cli and multichain-util binaries from the command line.

Getting Started with MultiChain

Open two terminals

On the first terminal

$ mkdir -p /root/.multichain/node1-chain1
$ multichain-util create chain1 --datadir=/root/.multichain/node1-chain1
$ multichaind chain1 --port=5000 --rpcport=4999 --datadir=/root/.multichain/node1-chain1 --daemon 

On the second terminal

$ mkdir -p /root/.multichain/node2-chain1
$ multichaind chain1@[ip-address]:5000 --port=6000 --rpcport=5999 --datadir=/root/.multichain/node2-chain1

Back on terminal one

$ multichain-cli chain1 --rpcport=4999 --datadir=/root/.multichain/node1-chain1
>>> grant 13JG1AayNhH3aYvkZRCh81uBeJiLLNWWsR9Pkw connect,send,receive
` streams `
>>> create stream stream1 false
>>> listpermissions stream1.*
>>> publish stream1 key1 AB

On terminal two

$ multichaind chain1@[ip-address]:5000 --port=6000 --rpcport=5999 --datadir=/root/.multichain/node2-chain1 --daemon
$ multichain-cli chain1 --rpcport=5999 --datadir=/root/.multichain/node2-chain1/chain1
>>> getinfo
>>> subscribe stream1
>>> liststreamitems stream1
>>> publish stream1 key1 AB (should give an error)
