KISS Node Quickstart

Node Running
1

For somebody looking to get started, here is a bare-minimum quickstart.

No git, no dependencies other than curl…

#!/bin/bash

# make sure curl is installed
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl

# install the autorun script from Quil's GitHub
curl -o autorun.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/QuilibriumNetwork/ceremonyclient/release/node/release_autorun.sh

# make the script executable
sudo chmod +x autorun.sh

# start the node (and download binaries)
./autorun.sh

Bang! Your node is now started and should auto-update.

Obviously, there would be more to do to if you want to make your life easier, things like stopping it, running it as a service, optimizing it, etc. but there are a bunch of guides for that.

Also, just a side note, I am 100% okay with this ending up in somebody’s guide.

Thanks for writing this!

For others: if you’re following this guide, make sure to read through the autorun script and understand what it’s doing before running it. This advice is not specific to Quilibrium, it’s generally applicable to any script you download.
