wget http://latest.nyxcoin.org/nyx-2.0.0-linux64.tar.gz

* If main link doesn’t work, try to copy link from github.
* Backup link for “nyx-2.0.0-linux64.tar.gz” file you can copy from: https://github.com/nyxpay/nyx/releases

f) Extract all files from the wallet tar.gz file using the tar command, delete archive and go to nyx folder:

tar -xvf nyx-2.0.0-linux64.tar.gz && rm nyx-2.0.0-linux64.tar.gz && cd nyx-2.0.0

* Name “nyx-2.0.0-linux64.tar.gz” could be different. It depend on current version. Check file name on github repository first and make necessary correction in command if needed.

g) Make it possible to launch NYX core from any directory and start NYX wallet:

chmod +x nyx*
mv nyx-cli nyx-qt nyx-tx nyxd /usr/local/bin
cd ..
rm -r -f nyx-2.0.0
nyxd -daemon

i) Get NYX masternode address. This is address where you should send exactly 1000 NYX. nyx-cli getaccountaddress masternode

j) Send 1000 coins to the generated address and wait 15 confirmations (30mins approximately).

k) Generate the private key for the masternode and copy it to notepad.
nyx-cli masternode genkey

l) Stop wallet and edit nyx.conf file: cd /root/.nyx
nyx-cli stop
nano nyx.conf

m) nyx.conf file will be opened automatically in Linux text editor. You should change RPCUSER(any), RPCPASSWORD(any), EXTENALIP(your VPS ip address) and MASTERNODEPRIVKEY(we got it on step#2-k). Copy whole blue text to notepad, change only red text with your data and paste it in putty:

n) Save changes in nyx.conf file and exit by pressing CTRL+O -> ENTER -> CTRL+X

o) Start nyxd again and wait for full sync.
nyxd

p) Get masternode collateral_output_txid and collateral_output_index and save it to notepad without quotes and brakets:
nyx-cli masternode outputs

q) Edit masternode.conf file:
nano masternode.conf

r) To the bottom of text you should paste your data(divided by spaces):
Masternodename - any you want
IP:port – Your VPS ip address and port 4330(port is fixed for all)
masternodeprivkey – You got it from step #2-k
collateral_output_txid – first part of masternode outputs
collateral_output_index – second part of masternode outputs (usually 1 or 0)

s) Save changes in mastenode.conf file and exit by pressing CTRL+O -> ENTER -> CTRL+X

t) Stop and start nyx server by:
nyx-cli stop
nyxd
It should say “Nyx Core server starting”

a) Make sure Python version 2.7.x or above is installed:
python --version
cd /root/nyx

b) Installation:
apt-get update
apt-get -y install python-virtualenv
git clone https://github.com/nyxpay/sentinel.git && cd sentinel
apt install virtualenv
(Press Y and ENTER when prompted)
virtualenv ./venv
./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

c) Set up a crontab entry to call Sentinel every minute:
crontab -e
(Press 2 and ENTER when prompted)

d) COPY blue text and paste it in PUTTY:
* * * * * cd /root/nyx/sentinel && ./venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py >/dev/null 2>&1
(And press ENTER to move string to next line)

e) Use CTRL+O -> ENTER -> CTRL+X (for saving changes and exit to command line).

f) Configuration sentinel.conf:
nano sentinel.conf

g) Copy blue text and paste in PUTTY:
nyx_conf=/root/.nyx/nyx.conf
(And press ENTER to move string to next line)

h) Use CTRL+O -> ENTER -> CTRL+X (for saving changes and exit to command line).

i) Test Sentinel:
cd /root/nyx/sentinel
SENTINEL_DEBUG=1 ./venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py

* This is mean your sentinel is working fine
* Run command after masternode start only. It will not show sentinel status now.

4. Start masternode

a) Type in PUTTY:
nyx-cli masternode start

b) To check masternode status:
nyx-cli masternode status

c) Your status will become “PRE_ENABLED” and after 30-60min it will be changed to “ENABLED”

d) Sometimes you should wait for 1-2 hours for your masternode sync with another nodes and become ready for starting, if it not start immediately don’t worry, just try a little bit later.

e) Relaunch your node if your masternode status is “NEW_START_REQUIRED”

f) Don’t worry if status is “WATCHDOG_EXPIRED”. It will go back to “ENABLED” in 30-60 minutes.

g) If you would like to check on your wallet's balance and see if you have earned any rewards, enter this command. Any rewards earned from your masternode will appear in the immature_balance until they have reached 100 confirmations, and then they will move to your spendable balance.
nyx-cli getwalletinfo

h) If you want to send money to another wallet address (exchange or somewhere) use command:
nyx-cli sendtoaddress [address] [quantity]

* Replace [address] with destination address and replace [quantity] with amount of coins to send.
Example: nyx-cli sendtoaddress NfEnneYbL12YyrLku2wTkww51APtJSn6WK 250
