How To Install 5ireChain Validator Node

Welcome to cryptomarketblog, the number one blog for crypto education. Here we explain the topics of the cryptocurrency using examples so that anyone can easily understand them. In this article we are going to show how to install 5ireChain validator node.

What is 5ire Chain?

5ire is a layer-1 EVM-compatible sustainability-oriented smart contract platform that focuses on developing a for-benefit blockchain ecosystem.

5ireChain has raised $121 Million funding from many reputable global enterprises in Series A & Seed Round.

Requirements to run 5ireChain Validator Node are:

• 4CPU
• 8GB RAM
• 100GB of disk space (SSD)

Use Contab, pqhosting, vultr or digital ocean servers to setup a node. I recommend you to use Contab or pqhosting, in this example I am using Contab servers which is very cheap compared to all other VPS.

Go to Contab website https://contabo.com/en/vps/ and select “Cloud VPS S”, select your term length as 1 month or 3 months, select Image as Ubuntu latest version (Ubuntu 22.04 version), enter root password click on “next”, Fill the details and complete the payment. After payment it will take 5-10 mins to setup server, you will receive Gmail with your server details.

go to https://www.putty.org/, Download and install the putty, next open it and enter host name (your server IP address) and click on open and accept. Enter user id as root and enter the root password (Which you created while buying server).

Now you have VPS, you have to run the node.  First update the packages.Copy this code and paste there (Remember just copy from here and take your mouse pointer to where is blinking green, and right click there and run the code by pressing enter if it does not run automatically).

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
