Steps

  • Assemble your NUC

  • Plugin backup power, etc

  • Flash Linux (Ubuntu Server) onto USB drive

  • Instal Linux (follow steps) -- Install with snap and openSSH turned on

  • Within home dir, create a folder called ethereum. We'll install everything inside here to keep things organized

  • Test your Network speed

    • Install sudo apt install speedtest-cli
    • Run speedtest-cli
  • Install network tools: run sudo apt install net-tools

  • Enable SSH on your NUC https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-enable-ssh-on-ubuntu-20-04/

    • Run sudo systemctl status ssh to ensure SSH is turned on
    • Open ssh in the firewall: sudo ufw allow ssh
  • Run sudo apt update to ensure your packages are updated

  • Run sudo apt install build-essential This will install two important dependencies that are required before running Erigon and Nimbus: gcc and make.

  • Verify that gcc is installed by running gcc --version

  • Verify that make is installed by running make --version

  • Install golang by running sudo snap install go --classic
