1. Register to Vultr

You can use the following link to get $100 to test out their platform:

2. Create a Personal access token

You can find a personal access token on this page:

Make a note of that key. We will use it in the next step.

3. Creating a Taraxa Node

If you are running this on Windows you will first need to install Windows Subsystem for Linux. You can use .

Export your Vultr access token to your environment so that the node creation script can access it without prompting you for it:

export VULTR_API_KEY=your_api_key

Then you can download and run the node creation script using this command:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Taraxa-project/taraxa-ops/master/scripts/one-click-Vultr.sh)"

Now you should see a new droplet in your Vultr account and you should receive an email with the login details.

NOTE: It takes a few minutes after the droplet starts to install the Taraxa Node software.

4. Check the logs

You can use the following commands to check if the node is up and running:

sudo docker ps

sudo docker logs -f taraxa_compose_node_1
