From Nxt Wiki
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
- Change to your home folder and download the latest client (version 1.4.15):

(source: Developers Release) (you really should check here to make sure this matches your downloaded file's checksum before you install anything!)
- SHA256 hash -
- Unzip it:
unzip client.zip
cd nxt
- 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.
- 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.
