Download
Download the newestexecutables and configuration templates. The extracted directory has the following structure:
mac/linux/win32_v#.#.#
├── node1.json //shard1 config template
├── node2.json //shard2 config template
├── node3.json //shard3 config template
├── node4.json //shard4 config template
└── build 
    ├── client //client executable: for using node services
    ├── discovery
    ├── light
    ├── node //node executable: for runnig a node
    ├── tool
    └── vm
Use the following commands in the build directory.
Accounts
Generate: generate keypairs using shard numbers.
$ ./client key --shard 1
public key:  0x43ff8ee89e56de149fd29bedbf8f3f4094cfe451
private key: 0x85c7d55a434037336a094575506229d82f771d14e9ba6e8c8ffc6e5c1f21de8a
Validate: check privatekey or pulickey validity and key shard number.
$ ./client getshardnum --account 0x43ff8ee89e56de149fd29bedbf8f3f4094cfe451
shard number: 1
$ ./client getshardnum --privatekey 0x85c7d55a434037336a094575506229d82f771d14e9ba6e8c8ffc6e5c1f21de8a
shard number: 1
Save: Create keyfile using privatekey, filename, password.
$ ./client savekey --privatekey 0x85c7d55a434037336a094575506229d82f771d14e9ba6e8c8ffc6e5c1f21de8a --file shard1account
Password:
Repeat password:
store key successfully, the key file path is shard1account
Restore: restore privateKey with keyfile and password.
$ ./client deckeyfile --file shard1account
Please input your key file password:
public key:  0x43ff8ee89e56de149fd29bedbf8f3f4094cfe451
private key: 0x85c7d55a434037336a094575506229d82f771d14e9ba6e8c8ffc6e5c1f21de8a
Configure node.json
1.Change mining account:
To mine in shard 1, generate a shard 1 keypaire, then place the publickey in node1.json template.
To mine in shard 2, generate a shard 2 keypaire, then place the publickey in node2.json template.
Similarly for 3 and 4.
2.Change node id:
Generate a keypair whose shard matters not, and fill the template with the privatekey.
Example with configuring shard1 template.
Before:
{
  "basic":{
    ...
    "coinbase": "0xcee66ad4a1909f6b5170dec230c1a69bfc2b21d1", ← publickey for mining
    ...
  },
  "p2p": {
    "privateKey": "0xf65e40c6809643b25ce4df33153da2f3338876f181f83d2281c6ac4a987b1479", ← node id
    ...
  },
  ...
}
After:
{
  "basic":{
    ...
    "coinbase": "0x43ff8ee89e56de149fd29bedbf8f3f4094cfe451", ← shard1 account publickey
    ...
  },
  "p2p": {
    "privateKey": "0xa12b2ef3e40389ef2e0e3130a88674071760a283c5ed53dfeae40a10cdedb9a8", ← shard2 privatekey 
    ...
  },
  ...
}
Run node
Run mining node: with 12 threads，using node1.json as configuration file.
./node start -c ../node1.json --threads 12
Run node without mining:
./node start -c ../node1.json -m stop
Using node services
When node starts, it checks the completeness of its database at a speed of roughly 10,000 blocks per second. Then the node will launch its services, which the client executable can access.
shard 1 listening port：8027
shard 2 listening port：8028
shard 3 listening port：8029
shard 4 listening port：8026
Balance:
$ ./client getbalance --account 0x43ff8ee89e56de149fd29bedbf8f3f4094cfe451 -a 104.218.164.169:8027
{
        "Account": "0x43ff8ee89e56de149fd29bedbf8f3f4094cfe451",
        "Balance": 0 ←balance, fan as unit, 1seele=100million fan
}
Node info:
$ ./client getinfo -a 127.0.0.1:8027
{
        "BlockAge": 54, ←seconds since the heighest block created
        "Coinbase": "0x43ff8ee89e56de149fd29bedbf8f3f4094cfe451", ←mining acount
        "CurrentBlockHeight": 1225756, ←height
        "HeaderHash": "0xa12b2ef3e40389ef2e0e3130a88674071760a283c5ed53dfeae40a10cdedb9a8", ←node id
        "MinerStatus": "Stopped", ←minging or not
        "PeerCnt": "162 (19 54 45 44)", ←total peer number（peers connected from 1 2 3 4）
        "Shard": 1, ←shard number
        "Version": "v1.2.4" ←version
}
Use ./client to view all available commands, and -h to see details of how to use them, for example ./client sendtx -h to see how to send transactions with keyfile.
