- 13.Click "Download Key Pair" and save the .pem file on your machine
- 14.Click "Launch Instances"
- 1.Navigate to the directory where you downloaded your .pem file (for example, try
cd ~/Downloads) - 2.Run the following commands to set up your Hop Node directory and server access.
i. Create .ssh directory if not existing already:
mkdir ~/.ssh
ii. Move .pem file to the ssh directory:
mv ~/Downloads/hop-node.pem ~/.ssh
iii: Change the permission of the .pem file for SSH:
chmod 400 ~/.ssh/hop-node.pem
- 1.Navigate to your EC2 instances (this should be the page you were on last)
- 2.Select your instance and click the "Connect" button
- 3.Choose "SSH client"
- 4.Copy the last line labeled "Example"
In the Terminal on your local machine
- 1.Paste the command you copied and run it
- 2.When prompted, type "yes" and click enter
On your new EC2 Ubuntu instance, install Docker and pull the latest Hop Node:
sudo apt-get update
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu focal stable"
sudo apt-get install docker-ce -y
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker
docker pull hopprotocol/hop-node
Set up the Hop Node configuration:
mkdir ~/.hop-node
vim ~/.hop-node/config.json
In this file, paste the default configuration example:
Generate the Keystore that will be the Hop Bonder.
docker run -v ~/.hop-node:/root -it hopprotocol/hop-node keystore generate --path /root/keystore.json
Follow the instructions in your terminal and return to this page upon completion.
The command ends by printing the public key associated with your Hop Bonder. You may now send funds to that address.
Run the following command to run the Hop Bonder
docker run -d hop-bonder -v ~/.hop-node:/root -it hopprotocol/hop-node --config /root/config.json
