Mining NKN with Linux
From NKN Community Wiki
📌 This guide will help you to install a NKN node using Linux.
Requirements
| Spec | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Ubuntu is recommended (works perfectly with Debian) |
| Memory | 1GB |
| Hard Drive Disk | 25GB (SSD is recommended) |
| CPU | Most of them works (AMD, ARM, MIPS,...) |
| Internet connection speed | 10Mbps up and down is a minimum |
| Internet usage | The amount of data used per month can be as high as multiple TB per month |
| IP address | 1 IP version 4 (IPv4) is require per node. There is no way (and it would make no sense) to run multiple node on a single IP. IPv6 is not available. |
| Port forwarding | You need to be able to reach the TCP/UDP ports 30001-30021. Optionally the TCP ports 30022-65535 for NKN Commercial services like nConnect. See our page about port forwarding |
Before you start
Please be sure to check all the following points
- [ ] I have 10.1NKN mainnet tokens (or I'm ready to buy them)
- [ ] My server is connected to internet
- [ ] I have setup my port forwarding
It's now time to ask yourself an important question
