# 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:

* If you want the node to run automatically on a network where it has gas (Priority: Polygon Mainnet, bloxberg Mainnet), type 1 and press Enter.&#x20;
* If you want to connect to the Polygon Mainnet (ECLD), type 2 and press Enter.&#x20;
* If you want to connect to the Polygon Testnet (tECLD), type 3 and press Enter.&#x20;
* If you want to connect to the bloxberg Mainnet (ETNY), type 4 and press Enter.&#x20;
* If you want to connect to the bloxberg Testnet (tETNY), type 5 and press Enter.&#x20;
* If you want to exit the script, type 6 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.
