Connect to your VPSby using putty.exe - check our VPS guide: https://mirror.xyz/wagame.eth/KioabqnC_UMB6D7HlQei6_dZawvFBURQd0gYUQT7yfUBlind setup instructionsJust copy the commands and paste into putty by right-clicking and then hit Enter. Commands are completed whenever the screen shows your user/path (“root@xyz821184:~”) Then continue with the next command. Sometimes the installation prompts your interference, just hit “Y” (“Do you want to continue? Y/N”) or “1” (“Proceed with installation”). For simplicity we don’t explain the commands, but since this is in a safe environment (on a hosted VPS), nothing bad will happen even if you mess things up.
