Easiest Method

Docker is the fastest way to run a node on any platform: 

docker run -d -p 33388:33388 soqucoin/soqucoin

Quick Start

# Start the daemon on mainnet (the default network)
./soqucoind -daemon

# Check sync status
./soqucoin-cli getblockchaininfo

# Get a new address
./soqucoin-cli getnewaddress

Configuration

Create ~/.soqucoin/soqucoin.conf:

# Basic node configuration
server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1

# RPC access
rpcuser=your_rpc_user
rpcpassword=your_rpc_password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

# Network: mainnet is the default (no network flag needed)
port=33388
rpcport=33389

Network Ports

Network P2P Port RPC Port
Mainnet 33388 33389
Stagenet (test network) 28333 28332
Regtest 18444 18332

Verify Installation

After starting the node, verify it's syncing:

# Check block height
./soqucoin-cli getblockcount

# View connected peers
./soqucoin-cli getpeerinfo | grep -c "addr"

# Network hashrate
./soqucoin-cli getnetworkhashps

Your node is fully synced when getblockchaininfo reports headers equal to blocks and initialblockdownload is false.
