STA-Node Client currently has 2 versions for Windows and Linux. You can launch the application right on your computer. To ensure compatibility, we recommend the following:

  • Windows OS: Windows 7 or later, do not use Windows Server

  • Linux OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or later

Download STA-Node Client:

Minimum Hardware Requirements

2 GB RAM 1 CPU Cores 40 GB Disk Space x86/X64 Processor Stable Internet Connection

Ubuntu

Register VPS

We recommend to use VPS from well-known services such as Vultr, DigitalOcean to ensure stability.

The operating system we recommend is: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS x64.

Login VPS with SSH

In the process of executing commands, if any command responds "Abort!", use the up arrow button on the keyboard to quickly re-enter the previous command (which has not been completed yet), then execute again.

Setup Ubuntu server

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

Create Sudo user

(for example: new user is ‘stavax’)

adduser stavax

sudo usermod -aG sudo stavax

Install GUI for first-time users of Linux/Ubuntu

sudo apt install lightdm

sudo systemctl start lightdm

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Install Remote Desktop with xrdp

Instead of using Console Viewer in some VPS providers, you now can use Remote Desktop.

sudo apt-get install xrdp

sudo sed -i 's/3389/53579/g' /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

sudo sed -i 's/#Port 22/Port 53572/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config

sudo ufw allow 53572 && sudo ufw allow 53579 && sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw status numbered

sudo reboot

<server-ip>:53579
