How to run a Monero node using a Debian server

in #monero8 years ago

While Monero is rising in popularity, it may be a good idea to contribute with some hashing power to the network !

Let's assume you have a computer with decent CPU, running DEBIAN Jessie.
Here is a mini-guide based on a fresh installation of Linux.

  1. Install dependencies
    sudo aptitude install git cmake libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libevent-dev libdb++-dev

  2. Get the sources
    git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git

  3. Compile
    cd ../bitmonero && make

  4. Run
    ./build/release/bin/bitmonerod

The result is quite simple, after all !

NB : you can download the blockchain before step 4 if you want, nothing special about that.
