Of course you need to download and install Java on your computer first if it's not there.

Error Handling(If java is installed):

C:\nxtcoin\nxt>java -jar start.jar
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Locate the java.exe and replace your batch file with the following(Include quotes):

"[JAVA_PATH]" -jar start.jar

1. Download nxt.zip (Link Above)


2. Unzip it!


3. Download nxtfiles.zip to redownload chain. (OPTIONAL - Link Above)
(DOWNLOAD THIS ONLY IF YOU ARE GETTING NEGATIVE BLOCKS)


4. Extract in nxt folder


5. Make a .bat file in the nxt folder


6. Type: java -jar start.jar and save the batch file


7. Run the batch file


8. Open http://localhost:7875  or http://localhost:7674for GUI.

Also ignore the certificate error.

If you get any exceptions let them be. This client still has many bugs.

To create & open your account click on the lock in the wb browser upper left.  Enter in a high security passphrase.  This MUST consist of a long string of words/letters/numbers of random words that NEVER appear in any literary or commonly spoken vulgate.

Security Tips

- Reiteration: Enter in a high security passphrase.  Your Nxt WILL EVENTUALLY be stolen if you dont!
- Do NOT run Nxt on a VPS.  Only run Nxt locally.  Even if you connect to your VPS securely via SSH, you are still not safe because all VPSs have backdoors.
- Nxt's P2P port is 7874 (tcp).  This port is the only port that needs to be open to run Nxt.
- Nxt also uses port 7875 for it's HTML client interface and port 7876 for API commands.  CLOSE THESE PORTS ON YOUR FIREWALL.

PS:If you get errors try this:
1. Go into your nxt folder >> webapps folder >> root >> WEB-INF and edit web.xml
2. In the parameter "<param-value>(IP_ADDRESS_GOES_HERE)</param-value>" put ur IP address
3.Save and run start.bat again

Thanks for posting, still can't get mine to work.  Was running 0.2.19 just fine, but now nothing.

[Drexme]

You need to update to the latest.. which is 0.3.3

[mripper]

Sorry, should have been more clear, I did update per your instructions, but the client is not working for me. 0.2.19 was working fine.  Any other suggestions?

[Drexme]

What does not work? The client? The website? Please clarify

[mripper]

I followed directions, run the start.bat, go to local host and nothing, just times out.

Can you show me a pic of the batch program?

They might be helpful to solve your error.

PS:If you get errors try this:
1. Go into your nxt folder >> webapps folder >> root >> WEB-INF and edit web.xml
2. In the parameter "<param-value>(IP_ADDRESS_GOES_HERE)</param-value>" put ur IP address
