·       First, if you don’t have yet, go opening a new VPS account from service provider like Vultr, you can use this refer link (thanks!)  https://www.vultr.com/?ref=6870818 

·       Create a new VPS in Vultr portal, select Ubuntu 20.04 x64 as OS, name it as Myria01, check the screenshot below for more details; (Pickup whatever location you like to deploy your node server, I use Dallas, TX USA as example)

·       Once created the VPS, wait for 5 minutes until the server is fully deployed at backend, now check the VPS details, copy its IP address and root password as shown in screenshots;

·       Now we have all information to connect to the VPS remotely, let’s install the SSH client software and make connection from your local computer to the remote cloud server;

For windows, recommend to use putty as client, check the link below for details: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html

You can download its portable version with link below to run directly without installation: https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/w64/putty.exe

For MAC OSX, you can run the ssh command in terminal windows directly, check this article for details: https://www.servermania.com/kb/articles/ssh-mac/

·       Now let’s run putty client software, connect to the remote VPS server using ssh protocol;

·       Great! You are almost there!  Only few steps left now. Let’s start to deploy the node software into the cloud server and configure the node;

Copy the commands below and paste them into the ssh session one by one, press enter key to run each command (to minimize the CPU and RAM limits:

wget https://downloads-builds.myria.com/node/install.sh

sed -i '9 i MEM=4*1024*1024' ./install.sh

sed -i '9 i CORE=2' ./install.sh

sudo mkdir /etc/sysconfig

sudo bash ./install.sh

·       Now the node software is well installed, you can run it to test the installation:

myria-node --help 

·       Apply the Node API Key from dashboard URL https://myria.com/nodes/dashboard/

Under your Node list, click Manage button, then click GET API KEY button, copy the API KEY;

·       Final step here! Run the linux command from ssh session to launch the node service and config the node by entering your API KEY here:

myria-node --start

 The node daemon will return messages that your Node is running, perfect!

·       Check back your dashboard, make sure the NODE is online, you are ALL SET!

·       That’s all, the myria-node daemon is run as Linux service so reboot or power interruption won’t stop the node service from continually running.
