Hello fellows!
We’ve prepared an all-in-one guide for you that will allow you to set up a NESA node in the easiest way possible!
1. First of all, purchase a server from AEZA, Contabo or Spacecore.
We’ve started using the AEZA service more due to its high reliability and speed. However, you can also choose Contabo.
Server specifications:
- 8 CPU
- 32 GB RAM
- 50 GB SSD
2. Set up the server on your PC.
Log in using the command root@ip.
But before that, we recommend securing your server. Read more in our article.
3. Preparation
Creating a Token
1. Go to Hugging Face and sign up.
2. Create a token by clicking the “Create new token" button. Save this token in a secure place.
Enter the “Token name” and click “Create token.”
3. Create an EVM wallet (for ex. MetaMask).
After setting up MetaMask, download the Leap wallet and export the private key from the MetaMask wallet you just made.
Click on “Using a Private Key”
Enter your private key and click on “Import Wallet”
4. Install the script.
Download and run the script with the command:
sudo bash -c "curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dknodes/nesa/master/nesaDK.sh -o nesaDK.sh && chmod +x nesaDK.sh && ./nesaDK.sh"
Command 2 — View Node Logs: allows you to view the node’s operation logs.
Command 3 — Stop Node: safely stop the node service.
Command 4 — Restart Node: restasrt the node.
Command 5 — Remove Node
Command 6 — View Node ID.
Command 0 — Exit: closes the menu.
To use the commands, press the appropriate number and then the “enter”.
Example Usage: Installing the Node
Step 1: Select Install Node
From the main menu, enter 1 to choose the Install Node option.
Next, enter a moniker for your node, email, and referral code:
nesa1tdyvqx63yguzlulwtcc69mghlyqzgke6h06zyn
Step 2: API from Hugging Face
Next, enter the API key from Hugging Face that you obtained earlier.
Step 3: MetaMask Private Key
Next, enter the Private Key from the wallet you created earlier.
You should see a window like this, press ENTER.
Step 4: Installation
Then it’ll go through a pretty long installation process.
Step 5: Get your Node ID
Press command 6 to get your Node ID.
Once you have the ID -> go to the site -> connect your Leap wallet -> and enter your Node ID.
If it shows UP, that means the node is working, and the Response Count should increase over time.
