🔧 Platform-Specific Instructions
Windows (WSL Recommended)
For Windows users, we recommend using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to build AMMOcoin.
# Install WSL and Ubuntu
wsl --install
# Then follow the Ubuntu instructions above inside WSL
macOS
# Install Homebrew dependencies
brew install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config openssl boost berkeley-db4
# Clone and build (same as Linux instructions above)
git clone https://github.com/everquin/AMMOcoin-v1.1.0.git
cd AMMOcoin-v1.1.0/ammocoin-source
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
⚡ Initial Setup
1. Create Data Directory
# Linux/macOS
mkdir -p ~/.ammocoin
# Windows (in WSL)
mkdir -p /mnt/c/Users/YourUsername/AppData/Roaming/ammocoin
2. First Run
# Start the daemon
./src/pivxd -daemon
# Check if it's running
./src/pivx-cli getinfo
# Create a new wallet
./src/pivx-cli createwallet "main"
3. Secure Your Wallet
Critical: Encrypt your wallet immediately!
# Encrypt wallet with a strong passphrase
./src/pivx-cli encryptwallet "YourStrongPassphrase"
# The daemon will stop - restart it
./src/pivxd -daemon
# Unlock for staking (optional)
./src/pivx-cli walletpassphrase "YourStrongPassphrase" 0 true
💰 Basic Wallet Operations
Get New Address
./src/pivx-cli getnewaddress
Check Balance
./src/pivx-cli getbalance
Send AMMO
# Unlock wallet first
./src/pivx-cli walletpassphrase "YourPassphrase" 60
# Send coins
./src/pivx-cli sendtoaddress "address" amount
🔒 Security Best Practices
Essential Security Steps:
- Backup wallet.dat:
cp ~/.ammocoin/wallet.dat ~/wallet-backup.dat
- Write down seed phrase:
./src/pivx-cli dumpwallet wallet.txt
- Store backups offline in multiple secure locations
- Never share private keys or wallet files
- Use strong encryption passwords
🛠️ Troubleshooting
Build Issues
If build fails, ensure you have all dependencies:
# Re-install dependencies

sudo apt install build-essential cmake git
Sync Issues
# Check peer connections
./src/pivx-cli getconnectioncount
# Add nodes manually if needed
./src/pivx-cli addnode "node-ip:port" "add"
