This guide is targeted for the ANON community members who want to setup ANON masternode but could not setup so far, due to very limited technical skill challenges. I feel this guide would serve as simplest way to setup ANON masternode.
ANON Masternode Setup Steps
- JDK 10 Setup on Local PC
Download JDK 10 exe on local PC using following link- https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk10-downloads-4416644.html
Right click on downloaded JDK 10 exe file, select Run as administrator. Installer will come up on screen, and click on Next button until Installer finish.
2. Download/Putty on Local PC (to access VPS in later steps)
Download putty using https://www.putty.org/ and install it as we install JDK 10.
3. Get a VPS (Virtual Server) (to use One Click MS setup from HostingStudio)
Get a VPS from hostingstudio, as they have one click VPS setup for ANON masternode. URL - https://hostingstudio.eu/cart.php?gid=5
Enter Hostname and password (you can choose as per your choice n like), it wil be used later also.
Once you place order (via Paypal as of now) and it is confirmed, you will receive welcome email from hosting studio team — which will have your VPS IP address and the password. Please dont share IP address and password with anyone.
4. ANON node setup on VPS
Open Putty on your local PC
Type VPS Host Name (or IP Address) and click on Open button,
Type Login as: root and password (received in welcome email from hostingstudio) and press Enter button
Type following commands on putty—
cd / then press Enter
sh hsoneclick.sh then Enter
This script will do following task-
- Create fresh new wallet
- Download and extract bootstrap file (for fast wallet sync)
- Configure anon.conf file with your MN private key and parameters
At the end of this script private key will be displayed, Please copy and paste in notepad for future use.
Once you get following screen means, anon wallet is created, bootstrap sync is completed and you get private key for MN (which will be used later when you update masternode.conf on your local anon wallet)
5. Anon Desktop Wallet Setup on Local PC
Create a folder name Anon in C drive — C:/Anon
Download Anon Full Node zip (contains anond.exe and anon-cli.exe) https://github.com/anonymousbitcoin/anon/releases/download/v.1.2.0/Anon-full-node-v.1.2.1-win-64.zip and Unzip it.
