I have tried to installed zcash insight ui & api in my local machine (ubuntu OS) and it is completed all the steps but I m facing issue while start services in frontground.

Let me share with you command, config file.

But getting below error in my terminal:

<code>

MY Config File (zcash-bitcore-node.json)

{
  "network": "testnet",
  "port": 3003,
  "services": [
    "bitcoind",
    "insight-api",
    "insight-ui",
    "web"
  ],
  "servicesConfig": {
    "bitcoind": {
      "spawn": {
        "datadir": "./data",
        "exec": "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/zcash-bitcore-node/bin/zcashd"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zcash Config (zcash.conf)

server=1
whitelist=127.0.0.1
txindex=1
addressindex=1
timestampindex=1
spentindex=1
zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332
zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

Can you please help me with it? What is wrong in which step?

Answer 1

Check out this line the README.

Install npm install -g zcash-bitcore-node zcash-bitcore-node start

To install Zcash, follow the Zcash Beta Guide. Point your zcash-bitcore-node.json to $DIR/zcash/src/zcashd.

After installing the zcashd separately and then changing the exec path in my config file to point to that location, it worked properly:

"servicesConfig": {
"bitcoind": {
  "spawn": {
    "datadir": "/storage/zcash-testnet",
    "exec": "/usr/bin/zcashd"
  }
},

I know this is quite late, but I hope it helps somebody!

Edit, for clarity..
