make

make install

After make install finished , your builded daemon files will be copied to /opt/posq/bin/  directory. You can see the files with commands below;

cd /opt/posq/bin/

cd /usr/src/

rm -rfd POSQ

Open required port on firewall

Commands below are for open required port on firewall for communication. If you don’t open the port, your wallet doesn’t sync and doesn’t work !!!

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5510/tcp --permanent

firewall-cmd --reload

When you first run your posqd daemon it asks you to add rpcname and rpcpassword to posqd.conf file.
First run the daemon and get the error. This creates required files on your user directory.And then run the commands below. Don’t forget to change rpcusername and password after = sign with your own !!! Here are the commands for it;

echo "rpcuser=change-this-username" >> ~/.posq/posq.conf

echo "rpcpassword=change-this-password" >> ~/.posq/posq.conf
