# Installing Ananos representative node

This guide has been tested on Ubuntu 18.

Create a user for ananos server

```
useradd -m ananos
passwd ananos
su ananos
```

Download pre-compiled Ananos node [here](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/875771260083257366/897922579728330873/nano_node), or use the following commands

```
mkdir ~/ananos
cd ~/ananos
curl https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/875771260083257366/897922579728330873/nano_node --output ananos_node
chmod o+x ananos_node
```

Run the daemon

```
nohup ~/ananos/ananos_node --daemon > ~/ananos/ananos_daemon &
```

Set-up a wallet, and show the seed (both to be copied and kept secret and in a super-safe place)

```
WALLET_ID=$(./ananos_node --wallet_create)
echo $WALLET_ID
ABC123......
./ananos_node --wallet_decrypt_unsafe --wallet ABC123_PUT_REAL_ID_HERE
Seed: 123THESEED
```

Generate configuration for the node

```
cd ~/Ananos
../ananos/ananos_node --generate_config node > config-node.toml
../ananos/ananos_node --generate_config rpc > config-rpc.toml
```

Edit both files according to your needs. **Read carefully** [**this**](https://docs.nano.org/running-a-node/voting-as-a-representative/) for more details.

👉As an alternative you can use these config files

```
cd ~/Ananos
curl https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/902407980572610570/902409796240703509/config-node.toml -o config-node.toml
curl https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/902407980572610570/902409798010691634/config-rpc.toml -o config-rpc.toml
```

Create an account

```
$ACCOUNT=$(curl -d '{
  "action": "account_create",
  "wallet": "'$WALLET_ID'"
}' http://[::]:7176)
echo $WALLET
```

Send some funds to your newly created `ananos_` account (at least 0.01 Ananos)

Receive funds, and verify the account is correctly set-up

```
curl -d '{
  "action": "search_pending",
  "wallet": "'$WALLET_ID'"
}' http://[::]:7176
```

```
curl -d '{
  "action": "account_info",
  "account": "'$ACCOUNT'"
}' http://[::]:7176
```

Restart the server
