This will fully work on a Node that has Bitcoin Core and LND installed.
We fully tested and worked perfect on MyNodeBTC

First Start

You will need to find the path of the files tls.cert and admin.macaroon to do the REST connection to have access to LND.
Poetry is needed to ensure every user has the same python dependencies installed.

### From LOCAL Node

Open the Terminal.

– Easy mode:
- a@A:~> sudo apt install hexyl
- a@A:~> sudo apt install jq
- a@A:~> pip3 install pybitblock
- a@A:~> pyblock
– Manual mode:
- a@A:~> sudo apt install hexyl
- a@A:~> sudo apt install jq
- a@A:~> git clone https://github.com/curly60e/pyblock.git
- a@A:~> cd pyblock
- a@A:~> pip3 install -r requirements.txt
- a@A:~> cd pybitblock
- a@A:~> python3 PyBlock.py
– Poetry mode:
- a@A:~> sudo apt install hexyl
- a@A:~> sudo apt install jq
- a@A:~> pip3 install poetry
- a@A:~> git clone https://github.com/curly60e/pyblock.git
- a@A:~> cd pyblock
- a@A:~> poetry install
- a@A:~> cd pybitblock
- a@A:~> poetry run python3 PyBlock.py
– Upgrade:
- a@A:~> pip3 install pybitblock -U
- a@A:~> pyblock
- Or
- a@A:~> cd pyblock
- a@A:~> git pull origin master
- a@A:~> cd pybitblock
- a@A:~> python3 PyBlock.py
- This is how we continue.
- It will ask you for the IP:PORT (REST PORT) in this case use: localhost instead of the IP.
- Then it will ask you for the path to the tls.cert.
- Then it will ask you for the path to the admin.macaroon.
- Then it will ask you for the path to bitcoin-cli or if you have already installed just put: bitcoin-cli.
- And you are in.
### From REMOTE Computer
- You will need to have tls.cert and admin.macaroon already downloaded from your LND node.
- Poetry is needed to ensure every user has the same python dependencies installed.
Open the Terminal.

– Easy mode:
- a@A:~> sudo apt install hexyl
- a@A:~> sudo apt install jq
- a@A:~> pip3 install pybitblock
- a@A:~> pyblock
– Manual mode:
- a@A:~> sudo apt install hexyl
- a@A:~> sudo apt install jq
- a@A:~> git clone https://github.com/curly60e/pyblock.git
- a@A:~> cd pyblock
- a@A:~> pip3 install -r requirements.txt
- a@A:~> cd pybitblock
- a@A:~> python3 PyBlock.py
– Poetry mode:
- a@A:~> sudo apt install hexyl
- a@A:~> sudo apt install jq
- a@A:~> pip3 install poetry
- a@A:~> git clone https://github.com/curly60e/pyblock.git
- a@A:~> cd pyblock
- a@A:~> poetry install
- a@A:~> cd pybitblock
- a@A:~> poetry run python3 PyBlock.py
  - This is how we continue.
  - It will ask you for the IP:PORT (REST PORT).
  - Then it will ask you for the path to the tls.cert.
  - Then it will ask you for the path to the admin.macaroon.
  - Then it will ask you for the path to bitcoin-cli or if you have already installed just put: bitcoin-cli.
  - And you are in.

Dependencies

Install Curl on Debian based type:
- sudo apt install curl

How to execute

python3 PyBlock.py

Running PyBLOCK using Docker

First check out or unzip the code to a directory, cd to that directory, and from there type the following commands: (Make sure Docker desktop is running in the background “sudo service docker start”.)
