Installation of a waves testnet node

in waves •  8 years ago  (edited)

Hello @marc.jansen,
Thanks for this procedure.
I've been trying to install a Waves Full Node following these instructions but I'm having a problem.

When I run:
waves waves-testnet.json

I'm getting this back:

What could be the problem?
Thanks for your help

I found the problem was that Java 7 was installed.
It seems that a default CD install of Ubutu 14 does install Java 7
You need to remove that before installing Java 8
