Scripts:

• genesis_start.sh
• start.sh
• stop.sh
• hard_replay.sh
• clean.sh

The following are a list of scripts from the bios boot sequence tutorial located here. The PURBLIC_KEY_HERE and PRIVATE_KEY_HERE fields must be updated in the genesis_start.sh, start.sh, and hard_replay.sh scripts.

To start the chain from genesis, run the genesis_start.sh file, then if you need to stop the chain, run stop.sh, if you need to start again, run start.sh. If you get a dirty flag, run hard_replay.sh.

If you need to wipe everything, run stop.sh, clean.sh, genesis_start.sh.

If you need to install eosio, see the eosio node section of the docs.
