Installing the Nxt Software on Linux

Here is the guide to installing the Nxt software on a Linux 64-bit platform. 32-bit installation instructions are very similar; you just might need to download the 32-bit version of Oracle Java 7 instead of the 64-bit one.

You can use this instructions on your Linux VPS as well (but also see our public node installation instructions ).

Set up Oracle Java 7

You can skip this step if you already have Oracle Java 7 installed. Otherwise, please follow the installation instructions in Oracle:

• Installing Oracle Java 7 in Ubuntu via PPA repository
• How to Install Oracle Java 7 in Debian via PPA repository

Install and run the Nxt software

1. Change to your home folder and download the latest client (version 1.4.15):
   cd ~
wget https://bitbucket.org/../JeanLucPicard/nxt/downloads/nxt-client-1.4.15.zip
   
   • SHA256 hash -

     (source: Developers Release) (you really should check here to make sure this matches your downloaded file's checksum before you install anything!)
     
2. Unzip it:
   unzip client.zip
cd nxt
   
3. Now it's time to start the software. You may start it by executing run.sh, which you will find in the nxt directory. The server will be running as soon as you see in the window a text similar to this:
   Nxt server 1.0.0 started successfully.
   
4. Open http://localhost:7876/ from a web browser to access the Nxt Client. Now you can visit the instructions to create your Nxt account!
   
   
   • NOTE: If you've installed the client on a dedicated server or VPS, you should change the "localhost" to your Server/VPS IP.
