Install FluxNode Software

Flux provides a comprehensive multitoolbox script to streamline Docker installation, FluxNode setup, benchmarking, and service management. Follow the steps below to deploy your node.

💡 Note: For the purpose of this guide, we’ll walk through the process using a VPS server rental scenario while configuring a Cumulus FluxNode. If you’re running FluxNode from home, steps may differ slightly. In this example, we’ll be using PuTTY as our SSH client to connect to the server.

Launch Multitoolbox

1. Connect via SSH

  • Ensure you’re logged in as root (or an admin user with sudo privileges).

2. Download & Run Multitoolbox

bash -i <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RunOnFlux/fluxnode-multitool/master/multitoolbox.sh)

3. Welcome Screen
