Introduction
All the info you need to install and manage a Quilibrium node
This guide and all the linked scripts have not been reviewed for compatibility with Quilibrium 2.1.x (only reviewed up to 2.0.x). Use at your own risk!
If you are not experienced and you are looking for an autoinstaller for Ubuntu check the Q1 - Node Manager and the Node Auto-installer (you can also follow the Node step by step installation)
This guide will work for a Linux server with Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 - If you use a different OS you can still follow the steps, but the auto-installer script will likely fail.
To run a node on Windows you can use WLS, see: Installing the node and the qclient on Windows WSL. Or you could use a Docker container (see below in "other guides").
To run a node on Mac see below in "other guides".
This guide has everything you need to set up and handle a Quilibrium node, plus a handy script to get your Ubuntu server ready and install all the apps you need.
I was once a total newbie too, so I made sure to keep this guide super noob-friendly. It's basically a collection of my own notes and trials from when I was figuring out Linux and managing my nodes. Just take it step by step. You only need to follow the required steps up to the Backup your private keys page. Anything beyond that is optional.
Other guides
There are several unofficial guides to run a node. Here are the ones I know of, and I can vouch for (always double check any script before running it in your server).
Is running a Quilibrium node still profitable?
Plese read this article.

DISCLAIMER
I can't take responsibility for what you do. The guide's content has been tested and shared as is, but if things go haywire and you accidentally delete your keys or mess up your server, well, that's on you! When in doubt, it's always a good idea to reach out for help in different groups. Oh, and don't forget to backup your keys! That way, even if something goes wrong, you can always reinstall your node from scratch.
