Configuration File#
All three programs get settings from dash.conf
in the DashCore
application directory:
Windows:
%APPDATA%\DashCore\
OSX:
$HOME/Library/Application Support/DashCore/
Linux:
$HOME/.dashcore/
To use dashd
and dash-cli
, you will need to add a RPC password to your dash.conf
file. Both programs will read from the same file if both run on the same system as the same user, so any long random password will work:
rpcpassword=change_this_to_a_long_random_password
You should also make the dash.conf
file only readable to its owner. On Linux, Mac OSX, and other Unix-like systems, this can be accomplished by running the following command in the Dash Core application directory:
chmod 0600 dash.conf
For development, it’s safer and cheaper to use Dash’s test network (testnet), regression test mode (regtest), or a developer network (devnet) described below.
Questions about Dash use are best sent to the Dash forum and Discord channels.
