This is how you install zold
Ruby gem on different platform.
We are very interested in your contribution to this document. If and when you experience any problems, make changes here via a pull request.
Basically, you need to install Ruby 2.3+, Rubygems, and then the gem.
We recommend to host nodes at AWS or DigitalOcean.
It is recommended to have at least 2 CPUs and 2 Gb RAM.

This file is known to trigger false positives.

If your node is behind a pfsense firewall, you will need to make some special configurations in order to allow traffic to properly reach your node.
1) Open the PFSense Web GUI Administration console and navigate to Firewall > NAT > Port Forward, followed by clicking "Add"
2) Configure the NAT rules with the following:
> Interface: WAN
> Protocol: TCP
> Source Port: defaults
> Destination Port: 4096
> Redirect Target IP: the interface on which your node is listening for requests
> Redirect Target Port: 4096
> Description: Port Forwarding Rule for ZOLD
> Filter rule association: pass
3) Verify configuration using either of these two methods. If you see a JSON document you have properly setup your node:
> CLI: curl <ip>:4096
> Browser: http://<ip>:4096
