Sui Node Istallation Guide

New gem?
A sensational L1 blockchain that uses the Rust programming language and the Move programming language to write smart contracts, which makes it special.

Let’s take a look in more detail.

Sui is the first permissionless Layer 1 blockchain designed from the ground up to enable creators and developers to build experiences that cater to the next billion users in web3

Sui is written in Rust and supports smart contracts written in the Move programming language to determine which assets can be owned.

Move is safe and expressive, and its type system and data model naturally supports the concurrent consistency/execution strategies that make Sui scalable.

Server rental & connection

Rent a server, for example, on Contabo. The following characteristics are suitable for: 2 CPU, 8GB RAM, & the Ubuntu 20.04 OS.

To connect to the server on Windows, use PuTTy.

• Paste server IP to “Host Name” and click “Open”
• In the opened tab, write the command: root;
• Press “Enter” and paste the password from the server, then “Enter”

On macOS, launch the Terminal.

• Enter the server with the command (change IP_ADDRESS to the server IP):ssh root@IP_ADDRESS
• Next, enter “yes”, press “Enter,” and paste the server password (the icon with the key will hide the entered password). Press “Enter”.

Installing node

Our guide is based on NodesGuru guide.

After connection to the server, enter commands:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install wget -y
sudo apt full-upgrade
wget -O sui.sh https://api.nodes.guru/sui.sh && chmod +x sui.sh && ./sui.sh

Installation is not fast, it took us about 30 minutes. After successful installation, you’ll see this:

Also, you can check by command:

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:9000 -H ‘Content-Type: application/json’ -d ‘{ “jsonrpc”:”2.0", “method”:”rpc.discover”,”id”:1}’ | jq .result.info

Then go to the Discord channel to #node-ip-application & paste your RPC: http://IP_ADDRESS:9000.

NFT creation

To create a wallet, enter the command:

sui client

Answer “y” for the first question & “Enter” for the second

Then check your wallets address:

sui keytool list

Ask for tokens in the Discord #devnet-faucet channel.

Then create your NFT by command:

sui client create-example-nft

You can check your NFT on the website, by entering your wallet.

NFT often disappears, so from time to time we request tokens once again and create NFT.

Update 18.08.2022

Connect to the server and enter the commands one by one:

systemctl stop suid
rm -rf /var/sui/db/* /var/sui/genesis.blob $HOME/sui
source $HOME/.cargo/env
cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git
cd sui
git remote add upstream https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui
git fetch upstream
git checkout -B devnet --track upstream/devnet
cargo build -p sui-node -p sui --release
mv ~/sui/target/release/sui-node /usr/local/bin/
mv ~/sui/target/release/sui /usr/local/bin/
wget -O /var/sui/genesis.blob https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui-genesis/raw/main/devnet/genesis.blob
systemctl restart suid

Useful commands

Check node:

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:9000 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"rpc.discover","id":1}' | jq .result.info

Check logs:

journalctl -u suid -f -o cat

Restart node:

sudo systemctl restart suid

Delete node:

sudo systemctl stop suid
sudo systemctl disable suid
rm -rf ~/sui /var/sui/ /usr/local/bin/sui*
rm /etc/systemd/system/suid.service
