Install

Start Your MetaSo Journey:

If you're ready to join the MetaSo network or want to learn more about deploying your own node, our installation package is a great starting point. It not only simplifies the installation process but also provides the essential tools and resources to help you easily manage your node.

Prepare Your Server:

Before getting started, ensure you have a suitable server to run your MetaSo node. If you need guidance, you can refer to our "Buying a Server" tutorial, which offers detailed steps and recommendations to help you choose and purchase a server that fits the requirements of MetaSo.

With this installation package, we aim to make deploying and managing MetaSo as simple as possible, enabling everyone to participate in this innovative network.

Download and Run the Installation Script

In the command-line interface (CLI) of your server, execute the following steps to download and run the installation script:

Launch the Installer: Open the terminal and execute the following command to start the MetaSo installer:

wget -qO- <https://github.com/metaid-developers/metaso/releases/download/v0.1/install_metaso_boot.sh> | sudo bash

If the command executes successfully, you will see the prompt “Running the executable…”, which means the installer has started successfully.

Access the Installer Page: On the server, open port 7171 in the firewall, then access the installer page via your browser: http://{ServerIP}:7171 Replace {ServerIP} with the actual IP address of your server.

Set the Installer Password: On the installer page, you will need to set an initial password. This password will serve as the security password for the installer and will be required for future management and operations. Please keep it secure.

Start the Installation: Click the "Install Now" button on the page to begin the installation process. The page will display the latest available online version (LastVersion) and the current version of MetaSo on your server (MyVersion).

Wait for Installation to Complete: The installation process may take 1–2 minutes. During this time, the page will display the message “Installing…”.

Verify Installation Success: Once the installation is complete, the page will display a "Stop Service" button, indicating that MetaSo is running successfully. You can click this button to stop the MetaSo service or click "Start Service" to launch MetaSo.

Upgrade Process

Access http://{ServerIP}:7171 (ensure port 7171 is open on the server) to check the current version and the latest online version. Click the "Upgrade for latest" button to perform the update. Once the process is complete, the upgrade will be finished.

How to Delete the Installer

1. Delete the ./metaso folder and the metaso_boot.db file.

2. In the command line, execute the following command to check the process running on port 7171:

   sudo lsof -i:7171

3. Then, execute the following command to kill the corresponding process by its PID:

   sudo kill {PID}

   Replace {PID} with the actual process ID obtained from the previous command.

4. Finally, delete the /metaso directory located in the system's root directory.
