Bellcore Node
============

A Bellcoin full node for building applications and services with Node.js. A node is extensible and can be configured to run additional services.

## Install

```bash
npm install -g git://github.com/bellcoin-electrum/bellcore-node.git
bellcore-node start
```

## Prerequisites

- GNU/Linux x86_64 *(for bellcoind distributed binaries)*
- Node.js v0.10, v0.12 or v4
- ZeroMQ *(libzmq3-dev for Ubuntu/Debian)*
- ~200GB of disk storage

## Configuration

Bellcore includes a Command Line Interface (CLI) for managing, configuring and interfacing with your Bellcore Node.

```bash
bellcore-node create -d <bellcoin-data-dir> mynode
cd mynode
bellcore-node install <service>
bellcore-node install https://github.com/yourname/helloworld
