Quick start guide

Get up and running the nonos-deamon in under 10 minutes.

---

What you'll need

• A computer running Linux, macOS, or Windows

• At least 1,000 NOX tokens (for node operation)

• An Ethereum wallet

• Basic command-line knowledge

---

Step 1: Install the nonos-deamon

Linux / macOS

curl -sSL https://get.nonos.systems | sh

Windows

irm https://get.nonos.systems/win | iex

---

Verify Installation

nonos --version
# Output: nonos 1.0.0

---

Step 2: Initialize Your Node

nonos init --reward-address 0xYourEthereumAddress

This creates your node configuration at ~/.nonos/.

---

Step 3: Set Your Wallet Key

export NONOS_WALLET_KEY="your-ethereum-private-key"

Security: Never share your private key. Consider using a dedicated wallet for node operations.

---

Step 4: Stake NOX Tokens

# Check your balance
nonos stake status

# Stake tokens (minimum 1,000 NOX)
nonos stake deposit 10000

nonos run

You'll see:

Common Issues

"Insufficient stake"

You need at least 1,000 NOX to operate a node:

nonos stake deposit 1000

---

"Connection refused"

Ensure port 9000 is open for P2P connections:

# Linux
sudo ufw allow 9000/tcp

# Check connectivity
nonos check network

---

"Wallet not configured"

Set your wallet key:

export NONOS_WALLET_KEY="your-private-key"
