How To Run a Waves Node

Question: How to Run a Full Node for the Waves Network?

Required preparation:

 * Windows: Download an SSH client such as PuTTY
 * Linux/Mac OS X: Use Terminal

1. Sign up for an SSD cloud server provider or log in if you already have an account. You can use your favourite VPS provider, for instance DigitalOcean, Vultr or any other reliable service provider.

2. Fund your account with credit, create a new instance and select the specifications you wish to host on (preferably Ubuntu)

3. Your username and password will be emailed to you

4. Log in to your droplet via SSH and set a new secure password

5. Follow the Waves platform installation procedures on how to run a node, see: https://github.com/wavesplatform/Waves#installation (testnet currently)
