Section C: Connecting to the VPS & Installing the ZelNode Script via Putty

Step 1

  • Copy your VPS IP (located within Droplets tab) Example-DO

Step 2

  • Open the Putty terminal and fill in the "Host Name" box with the IP address of your VPS

Example-PuttyLogin

Step 3

  • Once you have hit enter it will open a security alert (click yes)

Example-RootPassEnter

Step 4

  • Type "root" as the login/username

Example-Root

Step 5

  • Copy the root password (check your email)

Step 6

  • Paste the password into the Putty terminal by right clicking (it will not show the password so just press enter)

Example-RootPassEnter

Step 7

  • Change password for root (UNIX password same as Step 5)

Example-RootPassEnter

Step 8

  • Adduser to secure your VPS, by adding a new username so you aren't running everything as root.
  • Run the command below and use a username that you want associated with this server ('whodatbamf1' is an example, you need to generate your own username).

adduser YOURUSERNAME

Example-Bash

Step 9

  • You will then need to make a new password associated with your new username. Hit 'Enter' for the next 5 lines after your new password has been set, then 'Y' to save your information.

Example-Bash

Step 10

  • The final step is granting sudo permissions for your adduser, and running the command below to activate it***('whodatbamf1' is an example, you need to use your username)***

usermod -aG sudo YOURUSERNAME

  • Now you will close your Putty terminal and log back with your new username and password that we made above

Example-Bash

  • KEEP YOUR NEW USERNAME AND PASSWORD IN A SAFE PLACE. THIS WILL BE HOW YOU LOG IN FROM NOW ON.

Step 11

  • Paste the code below into the Putty terminal then press enter

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dk808zelnode/zelnode-testnetscript/master/testnet_script.sh && sudo chmod u+x testnet_script.sh && sudo ./testnet_script.sh

Step 12

  • Sit back and wait for the install (this will take a few mins), and have a txt file ready to save info from Step 11

Step 13

  • After the install is complete you will need to save this info for your controller wallet
