Is it easy to install?
Whether it must be installed on the same node or it can be installed on a web but the wallet installed on a diffe[Suspicious link removed]

It seems easy to install. You just need to also install some type of SQL database server. Check out their project docs on github here: https://github.com/bitcoin-abe/bitcoin-abe. You need to have it installed on a node that has the full blockchain.

Thanks. That means I have to install it on a vps and cannot installed on a shared web hosting?

That means I have to install apache and python on the vps?

[achow101]

You probably need a server that you have admin access to. You need to install SQL, Python, and Bitcoind on it, so you will need a VPS. Or you can run it on your own box.

Thanks a lot. Lot of stuff needs to install. Actually I am trying to make a altcoin to share. Whether multiple altcoin can share the same Abe explorer?

[achow101]

I think you will need a different instance of Abe for each altcoin. It doesn't support all altcoins, and some will need special setup because of the different algorithms. You can find which coins it supports and what needs to be installed on the project README file. If you need help, you might be able to PM or email the main developer of the project.

Abe can be a bit of pain at times.

I recommend taking a look at rpc-ace, which does not have all the
features that Abe has, but is super easy to work with.

Thanks. I must install rpc ace on the node running wallet or I can just install it on any web hosting?
