Tutorial on running node from GAIANET

The essence of this tutorial is how to start a GAIANET node on a VPS using tmux briefly based on the tutorial from GAIANET Documentation

Instalation

a. Update & Upgrade Package

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

b. Download TMUX Package

sudo apt-get install tmux

c. Download Source Code from server GAIANET

curl -sSfL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/main/install.sh' | bash

Downloading node files generally takes 10-15 minutes or even more depending on your server specifications. By default the node files are in the $HOME/gaianet directory and if you want to place the node file into another directory use the following command :

curl -sSfL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/main/install.sh' | bash -s -- --base $HOME/gaianet.alt

d. Open Tmux session

tmux new-session -s gaia

note : change the word gaia in the last command as you like.

e. Node initialization

gaianet init

The output should look like below:

f. Start Node

gaianet start

you can see output :

... ... https://0xf63939431ee11267f4855a166e11cc44d24960c0.us.gaianet.network

The script prints the official node address on the console as follows. You can open a browser to that URL to see the node information and then chat with the AI agent on the node.

Finally, now your GAIANET node is running and you can close the terminal without fear of the node stopping.

Other Command

If you exit the terminal server, you can reopen it and see the log of the running GAIANET node.

use the following command :

tmux a -d -t gaia

note : note : change the word gaia in the last command according to the command in step D.

You can also replace the tmux application with the screen application, but here I explain how to run node with the tmux application.
