Installing the Node

The node installation could be done as easily as running 3 commands as shown below. The script currently supports Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Usage Instructions

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 && sudo ./etny-node-installer.sh

2. Run the script again after system restart (if restart is required)

$ cd mvp-pox-node && sudo ./etny-node-installer.sh

3. Upon executing the script, you will be presented with a prompt to select the network. The interface will look something like this:

Now, you can make a choice:
  • If you want to connect to the Open Beta network, type 1 and press Enter.
  • If you want to connect to the Testnet network, type 2 and press Enter.
  • If you want to exit the script, type 3 and press Enter.
4. During the installation process, the installer script may prompt you with the message:
A. "Would you like to stop the service? (Y/n)". Y
B. "Do you want to use the default value of 3 ETNY / hour? (Y/n)", you can choose one of the following options (we recommended the default option):
  • If you want to use the default value of 3 ETNY / hour, simply type "Y" and press Enter.
  • If you want to specify a different value, type "n" and press Enter. The installer script will prompt you to enter a value between 1 and 10 for the ETNY / hour.
