Step 2

  1. logon to your VPS (if you installed as smartadmin or root make sure you are issuing the following commands as that user)
  2. smartcash-cli stop
  3. sudo apt-get update
  4. sudo apt-get upgrade (and hit Y)

  5. smartcashd -reindex *Note if you already upgrade to a 1.2 version you can just type smartcashd no need to reindex.

Then it will take a while (30 minute or so) until its done indexing and can be started from wallet.
You can type smartcash-cli getinfo and watch your blocks until they reach the current block count. It will pause on block 0 for a few mins so be patience.

Validate version is 1020200
protocolversion is 90026
Block is at the latest block

Once synced

Step 3 start alias on your wallet

@OwnControl they work for me.

#5

Thanks for this guide!

#6

#7

@colahenk Thanks for the update.
I have updated the document.

#8

Great and simple guide. Thanks! After installing I had an issue with my block file getting corrupted. I bootstrapped again, and no issues.

#9

How do you start your VPS and update ubuntu? Step 2 is unclear for me. Please can someone elaborate?

#10

Do you have a VPS (Virtual Private Server)? you needed one to setup a smartnode. If yes then do you know how to log into it?

If no then ping me on the smartcash discord.

#11

@controllinghand, Yes I’m running 8 nodes. Do i just type the commands into the terminal like “smartcash-cli stop” and then go from there?

#12

I run my nodes on Vultr server so I dont think i have a VPS. Im good at following instructions its just somewhat unclear on exactly what someone should do here… Upgrade your SmartNodes to 1.2.2 version (Mac Version)
Just a bit of clarification should suffice :wink: Thanks for your continued support
@controllinghand Maybe you can make a real simple explaination of this step by step for non-computer people?

#13

@controllinghand
I was able to do it through a “view console” option on Vultr. I’ll figure out how to do everything through terminal eventually. I obviously started the nodes that way but was following instructions closely and haven’t got how to use all functionality through terminal quite yet. Thanks for all your help :slight_smile:
