Development How To
1

Copy and paste instructions to setup a public node on Zenon Network with Ubuntu.

Minimum Requirements

  • 4 vCPU
  • 16G RAM (Nodes can operate with less than 16G of ram but can take extra time to sync from scratch. If syncing from scratch 16G is highly recommended)
  • Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04

Steps to Setup

Update and upgrade your VPS

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Open the following ports in your firewall. Please note a public static IP is required.

TCP: 35995
UDP: 35995

Install ZIP and dynamic swapfile

sudo apt-get install zip
sudo apt-get install dphys-swapfile

Reboot the VPS

sudo reboot

Download the ZNN Controller Software

wget https://github.com/zenon-network/znn_controller_dart/releases/download/v0.0.4-alpha/znn_controller-linux-x86_64.zip

Unzip the file

unzip znn_controller-linux-x86_64.zip

Run the ZNN Controller installation software

sudo ./znn-controller

You should see the following output
