# monerod
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`monerod` is the daemon software that ships with the Monero tree. It is a console program, and manages the blockchain. While a bitcoin wallet manages both an account and the blockchain, Monero separates these: `monerod` handles the blockchain, and `monero-wallet-cli` handles the account.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This guide assumes you have already set up your VPS account and are using SSH to tunnel into the server console.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Linux, 64-bit (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Make sure that port 18080 is open
|
||
|
|
`monerod` uses this port to communicate with other nodes on the Monero network.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example if using `ufw`: `sudo ufw allow 18080`
|
||
|
|
Example if using `iptables`: `sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 18080 -j ACCEPT`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Download the current Monero Core binaries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wget https://downloads.getmonero.org/linux64
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Make a directory and extract the files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mkdir monero
|
||
|
|
tar -xjvf linux64 -C monero
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Launch the daemon
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd monero
|
||
|
|
./monerod
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Show list of all options and settings:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./monerod --help
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Launch the daemon as a background process:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./monerod --detach
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Monitor the output of `monerod` if running as daemon:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
tail -f ~/.bitmonero/bitmonero.log
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Keep the VPS secure with autoupdate:
