3. Configuration Nexus prover node
If you don't have these dependencies already, install them first.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev git-all protobuf-compiler
1. Auto installing
curl sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arcxteam/nexus-node/main/nexus.sh | bash2. Manual installing
curl https://cli.nexus.xyz/ | sh
If you do not already have Rust, you will be prompted to install it.
1. Update CLI for Binding a node-id
If you have runtime at previous & run now, please binding your node-id for manual without auto installer skrip nexus.sh above. so the step here
- Go to https://app.nexus.xyz/nodes
- Open and wait the dashboard showing all and go section
add node>add CLI node> checkcopyand done - Open your ssh-vps-terminal, add/input your YOUR_NODE_ID and use command to enter
echo "YOUR_NODE_ID" > /root/.nexus/node-id
For example
- echo "6317901" > ~/.nexus/node-id- And now restart the systemctl nexus-service use command to enter
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart nexus.service
sudo journalctl -u nexus.service -f -n 100
Still wait, this having for syncing on website, check
Nexus Pointon section page.....
2. Upgrade & restart service for network-api
logs: If have facing issue cargo/cycles etc Proof sent! You proved at 0 Hz try git tag -l for the latest Api Network https://github.com/nexus-xyz/network-api/releases/
cd ~/.nexus/network-api && \
git fetch --all --tags && \
LATEST_TAG=$(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1)) && \
git checkout $LATEST_TAG && \
cd ~/.nexus/network-api/clients/cli && \
cargo clean && \
cargo build --release && \
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && \
sudo systemctl restart nexus.service && \
sudo journalctl -u nexus.service -f -n 100
1. Based-on ran Nexus Labs node
Check & Save the Prover-id & Node-id
- cat $HOME/.nexus/prover-id; echo ""
- cat $HOME/.nexus/node-id; echo ""
Start and enable the service
- sudo systemctl stop nexus.service
- sudo systemctl daemon-reload
- sudo systemctl enable nexus.service
- sudo systemctl start nexus.service
- sudo systemctl restart nexus.service
Checking the status service
- sudo systemctl status nexus.service
- ps aux | grep nexus
Monitor the status logs
- sudo journalctl -u nexus.service -f -n 100
2. Important Note
- Delete all Nexus Node running service
sudo systemctl stop nexus.service && sudo systemctl disable nexus.service && sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/nexus.service && sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl reset-failed
