Simplify versioning system for user guides
This new approach doesn't require version numbers and make easier for contributors to understand the status
of the document. There are only 3 states:

- Outdated: The page is outdated and might not work as expected
- Untranslated: The page needs to be translated
- Translation outdated: The page is translated, but the original (English) document has been updated

To mark a guide as outdated, we change the boolean of the front matter entry 'outdated' in /resources/user-guides/GUIDE.
If 'False', the guide is updated. If 'True' all versions of the guide (English included) will show a warning at the bottom
of the page.

The other 2 states are related to the status of the translated pages and we control them from the language-specific
user guides: /_i18n/LANG/resources/user-guides/GUIDE. At the top of the page a snippet will include 2 parameters:

- translated: "yes" if the page is translated, "no" if it's not.
- translationOutdated: "yes" if the translation is outdated, "no" if it's not

This new system aims to be simpler than the precedent, avoiding to compare versioning numbers and using a higher level
system instead (yes, no, True, False). I also removed the middle way status 'only minor changes', because if there are
only minor changes that don't affect the usability of the guide, we don't need to point it out.

The old system was complex and people didn't use it. These changes will hopefully make things easier for translators and
other contributors.

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:
