# Installation ### Step 1 **Download ready-made binaries from the official github** *(this link is relevant for MAIN.1.0, if you are reading this guide, but there is already a new version is available, try changing the number 1.0 in the link to the number of the current version)*:

Linux:

wget https://github.com/massalabs/massa/releases/download/MAIN.2.0/massa_MAIN.2.0_release_linux.tar.gz

Linux Arm64:

wget https://github.com/massalabs/massa/releases/download/MAIN.2.0/massa_MAIN.2.0_release_linux_arm64.tar.gz

Unpack the downloaded archive:

Linux:

tar zxvf massa_MAIN.2.0_release_linux.tar.gz

Linux Arm64:

tar zxvf massa_MAIN.2.0_release_linux_arm64.tar.gz

You won’t believe it, but that’s it! You have installed the node. ### Step 2 Before starting the node, we will create a config file with the ip-address of your server into it — for the node to be routable (replace the **IP\_ADDRESS** with the IPv4/IPv6 address of your server), then copy and paste whole the block:

sudo tee <<EOF >/dev/null $HOME/massa/massa-node/config/config.toml 
[protocol] 
routable_ip = "IP_ADDRESS"
EOF

### Step 3 Create a **service file** for the node to run in the background and does not stop after closing the terminal.\ Please note — replace the word **YOUR\_PASSWORD** with your own password, the same password that you used when creating a wallet! (Copy the block below in Notepad, replace the word YOUR\_PASSWORD with your password and paste it entirely on the command line, not line by line.)

printf "[Unit]
Description=Massa Node
After=network-online.target
[Service]
User=$USER
WorkingDirectory=$HOME/massa/massa-node
ExecStart=$HOME/massa/massa-node/massa-node -p YOUR_PASSWORD
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target" > /etc/systemd/system/massad.service

Next, run the node using the service file (3 commands): ``` sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable massad sudo systemctl restart massad ``` Checking that the node is working properly: ``` sudo journalctl -f -n 100 -u massad ``` ### Step 4 Now let’s move on to setting up the client / wallet.\ Launching the client for the first time. It will require, like the node, to come up with a password (I advise you to create the same as on the node, although most likely this is not entirely correct). ``` cd $HOME/massa/massa-client/ ./massa-client ``` Next we need to restore the wallet (Your wallet secret key instead of Secretkey): ``` wallet_add_secret_keys Secretkey ``` Copy the **wallet address** and add it to the stake: ``` node_start_staking WALLET_ADDRESS ``` Checking that the node is ok:

cd /$HOME/massa/massa-client/ && ./massa-client -p YOUR_PASSWORD wallet_info

### It remains only to buy a roll for our coins. We go to the client:

cd /$HOME/massa/massa-client/ && ./massa-client -p YOUR_PASSWORD

and in the client we buy a roll using the command: ``` buy_rolls YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS Number_of_rolls Commission # In the above case, the command looks like this: buy_rolls A1zpSerGtbwjiAEK3yueeTAFTgFzrFtJ3p33c4ACu9ytDFQTAjU 1 0 ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
