New page

This page contains the default location of the files and directories commonly used by the Ethereum software:
* Go Ethereum (<code>geth</code>)
* Parity
* Ethereum Wallet

==OS/X==

===Network Listening Port===
The default port Ethereum clients use to listen for incoming connections is '''30303'''. In the listing below, the first two connections are the outgoing connections from my local Ethereum client to Ethereum clients over the Internet. The next two ports are the TCP and UDP 30303 ports the local Ethereum client is listening on:
$ netstat -an | grep 30303
tcp4 0 0 172.20.10.4.54871 47.90.2.48.30303 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 172.20.10.4.54854 198.27.65.15.30303 ESTABLISHED
tcp46 0 0 *.30303 *.* LISTEN
udp46 0 0 *.30303 *.*

===RPC Port===
Some application communicate with the Ethereum client through the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) port '''8545'''. In the listing below, the first two connections are communications with Remix (Browser Solidity) from my web browser. The third line is the local Ethereum client listening for RPC connections from locally running applications.

$ netstat -an | grep 8545
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.8545 127.0.0.1.55313 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.55313 127.0.0.1.8545 ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.8545 *.* LISTEN

===IPC File Directory===
The IPC (Interprocess Communication) file is created when <code>geth</code> is running, and is located in the directory shown below. Ethereum Wallet / Mist communicates with <code>geth</code> through this pipe:
$ ls -al $HOME/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc
srw------- 1 bok staff 0 17 Mar 11:44 /Users/bok/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc

===<code>geth</code> Executable===

If installed using Homebrew, the location of your <code>geth</code> executable is:
/usr/local/bin/geth

====<code>geth</code> Executable - Manual Download====
If installed using a downloaded package, the location of your <code>geth</code> executable is in the subdirectory where you unpacked the downloaded package.

====<code>geth</code> Executable - Automatic Download By Ethereum Wallet / Mist====
If installed automatically by Ethereum Wallet / Mist, the location of your <code>geth</code> executable is:

===Ethereum Wallet Directories===
When you start Ethereum Wallet and it starts <code>geth</code> as it cannot detect an already running instance of <code>geth</code>, the log files for <code>geth</code> can be found in:
/Users/bok/Library/Application Support/Ethereum Wallet/node.log*

Following is the contents of the most recent <code>geth</code> log file:

==Linux==
Linux and OS/X both arose from Unix and exhibit many similarities.

===Network Listening Port===
As with OS/X, the default port Ethereum clients use to listen for incoming connections is '''30303'''. The first two entries indicate the '''<code>geth</code>''' process on this machine is '''LISTENING''' for UDP/TCP connections on all interfaces, port 30303.
The ten others are '''ESTABLISHED''' connections to other peers' ports 30303.
