# RUN SUI FULL NODE ON TESTNET

By [Genuine Airdrops](https://paragraph.com/@gadao.gaia.domains) · 2023-02-04

---

### 🙏🏼As we all know SUi recently announced its Testnet wave 2 and Everyone can run a Full node on Testnet, So here are the steps to run a node on VPS

📌NOTE: There is no confirmation that Node runner will get anything or not in the future, We are doing this just for our satisfaction, anything can happen in future, and nobody can predict future rewards.

♾All steps are the same as we use to run the node on DEVNET:

✔️**_Only need to replace 1 keyword “DEVNET” with “TESTNET”_**

😇But here I’m again sharing all commands that you do need to change anything, just copy and paste them into your VPS server step by step 👇🏻

As I already told you that how to install & Setup a VPS server in the given Twitter post above 👆🏻 🧷 You can also use [Contabo](https://contabo.com/en/) VPS service it’s a little cheaper than Vultr.

Step By Step the commands you need to use into [Putty](https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/w64/putty.exe) on Windows & Mobile users can use [Termius](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.server.auditor.ssh.client&hl=en_IN&gl=US) 👇🏻

`sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y`

    apt-get update \
        && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive TZ=Etc/UTC apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        tzdata \
        git \

**Now, let’s create a screen to run the node:**

`screen -S sui_node`

Good, Now let's Install the Sui binaries, Run this immediately:

`cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git --branch testnet sui sui-node`

NOW Let's create a wallet 👇🏻

`sui client active-address`

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/4f5d86a9b40b8f30c2997390ce3f9d1bf28e7e22ada0cd5075c47078e1f91375.png)

You'll get a new seed phrase and new SUI wallet address, select the text, copy and save it.

**Now run these commands 1 by 1:** 👇🏻

`git clone https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git --branch testnet`

`cd sui`

`git remote add upstream https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui`

`git fetch upstream`

`cp crates/sui-config/data/fullnode-template.yaml fullnode.yaml`

**And finally👇**

`cargo run --release --bin sui-node -- --config-path fullnode.yaml`

📌NOTE: it will also take time (all Depends on our VPS Specification/processing Power)

### Now we have to Synchronize the node with the Latest Blockchain data

1\. Close your ssh client and re-connect with your VPS IP address
