Open Ledger Node | Manual

1. First of all, purchase a server from AEZA.

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


Server specifications:

Recommended Requirements:

  • 2 CPU cores
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Storage: 60GB
  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04

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

1. Registration

To complete the registration on OpenLedger Testnet, you need to install an X-server on your local machine.

2. Install an X-server

Details:

For Windows:

  • Use the MobaXterm program to work with the X-server.

For macOS:

  • Install XQuartz using Homebrew:brew install --cask xquartz
  • After installation, launch XQuartz:open -a XQuartz

For Linux:

  • The X-server is usually pre-installed in the system.

We’ll be showing it on macOS.

4. Connecting to the Server via SSH

Open your Terminal and use the following command to connect to the server with X11 forwarding enabled:

ssh -X root@ip

5. Install the script.

1. Run the following command and download:

sudo bash -c 'git clone https://github.com/dknodes/OpenLedger.git && cd OpenLedger && chmod ugo+x OpenLedger.sh && ./OpenLedger.sh'

2. Start the node installation.

Enter command 1

3. Enter command 3

4. Log into your account and link it up.

Click on Setup Node, then Continue, and Connect.

• Wait for the Connect button to turn green.

• Close the node window.

Congratulations, the node is installed!
