Thanks Anant for this post - I used these instructions for dawn 4.0 with a minor adjustment
plugin=eosio::account_history_api_plugin
should be
plugin=eosio::history_api_plugin
you may need to resync the blockchain if you encounter errors from an earlier run of nodeos:
nodeos --resync-blockchain
As explained here: https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/issues/2975
