VPS Setup

Step 1

Head to https://www.vultr.com and create a Vultr account.

Step 2

Once you have created your account, you will need to fund it to pay for a server.

Step 3

On the Products page, click the plus sign (+) to begin the purchasing sequence.

Step 4

4a. Select the server of your choice. Cloud Compute should be sufficient in most cases.

4b. Select Intel Regular Performance

4c. Select a server location. Typically the server location closest to your actual location is the best option to choose.

4d. Choose a server type. Debian (make sure the 11X64 version is selected) Older versions may not work. – Other operating systems may not work

4e. Choose a server size. The $5 per month server is sufficient options for most cases. You can always upgrade this at a later date.

4f. Add Auto Backups - toggle off.

4g. Additional Features - none (most add no benefit to this tech, some will keep the node from working properly). Make sure all boxes are unchecked.

4h. Give your server a logical hostname/label and click Deploy Now. This will begin the setup process for your server. It should only take 5–10 mins

Step 5

5a. Once the installation has finished and the status says Running under the Status column, on the "Products" page, you will see the different server instances you have started. Click on the name of the server (the name you chose during setup) and it will take you to the server Home Screen.

5b. On this page find the username and password - these will be needed later. The username by default is root. Copy the password by clicking the icon next to the hidden phrase:
Copy the password by clicking the clipboard icon, to the right of the password

5c. To open the console, click on the computer screen icon, on the right side of the page.

This will open a new window that you will use to complete the setup

Step 6

6a. In the console window, type the word root and click ENTER.
(The console will display one of two things:

A long list of words. If you encounter this press Enter and the system will ask for you to log in.
A prompt to log in. )

6b. Click the toolbar icon on the left side of the window (there is a small gray button with an arrow on the left side of the terminal.)

6c. With the toolbar expanded, click the clipboard icon

6d. Click in the text area, and paste (by click the "paste" button or by Mac: ⌘ + V, Windows: Ctrl + V) the password in the text box

6e. Click Paste (*IMPORTANT* the password you pasted into the text box will disappear, but it will NOT display anything in the console - this is by design. Close the icon list by clicking the arrow button again, then press Enter. If everything was done correctly you should see a message that says you have logged in. )

6f. Hide the toolbar by clicking the toolbar button

6g. Click ENTER, to submit the password

Step 7

7a. Paste the following command into the console using the same method you did for the password :

bash <(curl -s https://download.libertyblockchain.com/node-binaries/v2.6.1-b/linux.sh)

7b. Hide the toolbar by clicking the toolbar button

7c. Click ENTER to submit the above, pasted command

7d. For username, type the email to your Liberty Account, click ENTER

7e. For password, type the password to your Liberty Account and click ENTER (You will be prompted to enter your password for your Liberty account. Type in your password. *Please note, Vultr will not display your password but be assured it is being entered. Click Enter. **if you are struggling to enter your password correctly, open the clipboard feature in Vultr and enter the password in there so you can visualize it.)

7f. For node name, type whatever you'd like and click ENTER

7g. You should get a message that says "Liberty Configuration Complete"

*NOTE* Using the Snapshot feature through Vultr is not supported for running Liberty Nodes.

Congratulations!
Your Liberty node is now running
