Automated Installation ​

The official DAC Node automated installers allow you to easily deploy, run, and manage a node daemon on various platforms.

Using platform-specific wrapper scripts (Bash scripts for Linux/macOS and Batch scripts for Windows), the installation process is guided, interactive, and automated from start to finish.

Core Features ​

Our automated installer scripts are designed to streamline operations and handle all low-level configuration details:

  • Architecture Auto-detection: Detects platform CPU architecture natively (supporting amd64/x86_64, arm64/Apple Silicon, and standard arm7).
  • Background Daemon Registration: Registers the node as a system service to ensure it starts automatically on boot:
    • Linux: Configured as a managed systemd service.
    • macOS: Configured as a system-wide LaunchDaemon.
    • Windows: Launcher scripts provided with options for background task setup.
  • Interactive Wizard Setup: Easily configure node names, storage states (Light/Standard, Full, or Archive), networks (Mainnet vs Testnet), and HTTP/RPC API access flags.
  • Wallet & Mining Setup: Automatically sets up wallet generation, keystore encryption passwords, and starts mining operations cleanly out-of-the-box.
  • Automated Lifecycle Operations: Re-running the scripts allows you to instantly check sync stats, reconfigure startup parameters, update the node binary, or cleanly uninstall the service while keeping secure keystore backups.
