Quick Start

Install ansible

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt -y install ansible

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/ethernity-cloud/mvp-pox-node.git

Install the kernel with SGX support

cd mvp-pox-node
sudo ansible-galaxy collection install crivetimihai.virtualization
sudo ansible-galaxy install uoi-io.libvirt
sudo ansible-playbook -i localhost, playbook.yml \
  -e "ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3"

After the first run of the script, the new kernel is installed and the following message will be displayed:

ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": "The kernel has been updated, a reboot is required"
}

Reboot the system as requested.

sudo reboot

Reconnect via SSH and resume the installation. Change to repository directory.

cd mvp-pox-node

Create the config file

Write the blockchain wallets keypairs inside the config file if you have not done so already.
