Rent a server, for example, on Contabo. The following characteristics are suitable for Aptos: 4 CPU, 8 GB RAM & the Ubuntu 20.04 OS. an example of such a server is at the link. The cost of such a server is $7 per month.

After the purchase, you will receive an email with your server data: IP address and password.

To connect to the server on Windows, use PuTTy.

• Paste server IP to “Host Name” and click “Open”
• In the opened tab, write the command: root;
• Press “Enter” and paste the password from the server, then “Enter”

On macOS, launch the Terminal.

• Enter the server with the command (change IP_ADDRESS to the server IP):ssh root@IP_ADDRESS
• Next, enter “yes”, press “Enter,” and paste the server password (the icon with the key will hide the entered password). Press “Enter”.

We took the installation from the Aptos RU chat by Nodes Guru.

After a successful connection to your server, enter the commands to install the node:

wget -q -O aptos.sh https://api.nodes.guru/aptos.sh && chmod +x aptos.sh && sudo /bin/bash aptos.sh
