Installation
Automated Installation
This installer provides an easy way to automate the installation process of an Ethernity Node as much as possible.
Features:
Automates the system update, and runs the ansible-playbook installation process
Asks the user to generate (using the “ethkey” tool) or to input wallet details from console (node and result)
Checks wallet balance for Bergs (continues only if Bergs > 0)
Validates wallet for wrong input
Prevents the user to continue if the node wallet is the same as the result wallet
Restarts the system automatically after the system and kernel is updated
1. Clone the repository to the home folder and run it
$ cd && git clone https://github.com/ethernity-cloud/mvp-pox-node.git
$ cd mvp-pox-node
$ ./etny-node-installer.sh
2. Run the script again after system restart
$ cd mvp-pox-node
$ ./etny-node-installer.sh
Maual Installation
1. 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
2. Clone the repository
$ git clone https://github.com/ethernity-cloud/mvp-pox-node.git
3. Install the kernel with SGX support
$ cd mvp-pox-node
$ sudo ansible-playbook -i localhost, playbook.yml \
-e "ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3"
After the first run of the script, the new kernel(with SGX support) 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.
4. Create config file (please use your own wallets):
$ cd mvp-pox-node
$ cat << EOF > config
PRIVATE_KEY=AE6AE8E5CCBFB04590405997EE2D52D2B330726137B875053C36D94E974D162F
EOF
$
5. Start the node
$ cd mvp-pox-node
$ sudo ansible-playbook -i localhost, playbook.yml \
-e "ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3"
After the second run of the script the node should be successfully installed and the following message will be seen on the screen:
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "Ethernity NODE installation successful"
}
6. Check if the service is running correctly.
Service status can be seen by running the below command.
