Cryptonote is a popular cryptocurrency project that allows for anonymous transactions. Installing Cryptonote on Ubuntu Server is fairly straightforward. This tutorial will walk you through the steps.
Before you start, you will need to have the following:
Prior to installing Cryptonote or any other package, update the Ubuntu Server system to ensure that you are running the latest software.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Cryptonote has several dependencies that are required before installation. Install these dependencies with the below command:
sudo apt install build-essential cmake pkg-config libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libzmq3-dev libunbound-dev libsodium-dev libpgm-dev libnorm-dev libminiupnpc-dev liblzma-dev libreadline6-dev libldns-dev libexpat1-dev doxygen graphviz libpcsclite-dev
Now you need to clone the Cryptonote repository to your Ubuntu Server.
sudo apt install git
After installing Git, use the below command to clone the Cryptonote repository.
git clone https://github.com/cryptonotefoundation/cryptonote.git
Navigate into the cryptonote directory that you just cloned and build the Cryptonote project using the below command:
cd cryptonote && make
This step may take some time to complete.
After the build is complete, start the Cryptonote daemon with the below command:
./bin/cryptonoted
This will start the Cryptonote daemon and it will begin to synchronize with the Cryptonote network.
You have now installed Cryptonote on your Ubuntu Server. This tutorial covered the installation and configuration of a Cryptonote node on Ubuntu. You can now use this node to conduct anonymous transactions on the Cryptonote network.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
