Atlas Network Node | Manual

We’ve started using the AEZA service more due to its high reliability and speed.

Server specifications:

Minimum Requirements:

• CPU: 1 cores
• RAM: 2 GB
• OS: Ubuntu 22.04 / Ubuntu 24.04

Super low requirements — you can totally run it on whatever server you’ve got. Barely uses any resources, it’s just about signing a deploy. Don’t skip this activity, as the effort required is minimal.

Log in using the command root@ip.

But before that, we recommend securing your server. Read more in our article.

1. Install the Solana CLI:

sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.anza.xyz/stable/install)"

2. Enter the following command:

export PATH="/root/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin:$PATH"

3. Generate a keypair on the Solana network:

solana-keygen new -o /root/.config/solana/id.json

You’ll be asked for a BIP39 passphrase — you can just skip it. Make sure to save that seed phrase!

You can view your private key using the following command:

cat /root/.config/solana/id.json

4. Request test tokens

solana airdrop 0.01 -u "https://testnet.atlas.xyz"

If you receive an error like this, go claim from the faucet:

https://faucet.atlas.xyz/

If you forgot to save your Solana public key, you can retrieve it with this command:

solana address

Requesting airdrop of 0.01 SOL
Error: airdrop request failed. This can happen when the rate limit is reached.

5. Sign the deploy

# 1. Clone the SPL Token Program from Solana mainnet
solana program dump -um TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA program.so

# 2. Generate a new program ID for Atlas
solana-keygen new -f -o program-keypair.json -s --no-bip39-passphrase

# 3. Deploy the cloned program to Atlas testnet at the generated address
solana program deploy -u "https://testnet.atlas.xyz" program.so --program-id program-keypair.json

That's all!
