#It may say "certificate already present", but still necessary.

#retrieve the node software

rm bms.zip  #will say no such file, thats OK

wget https://social.biblepay.org/bms/bms.zip

unzip bms.zip

#prime the node
dotnet BiblePay.BMSD.dll

#You will see: ERROR: missing bms.conf file: This is OK

#Now we need to create a config file

nano /inetpub/wwwroot/bms/bms.conf

 Installing Local MySQL database 

(MySQL is used to store the internal sidechain transactions and blocks).


 sudo apt install mysql-server


 sudo systemctl start mysql.service


#now you have mysql running, and by default you are superuser but we need to secure the node

 sudo mysql_secure_installation


#Would you like to enable validate password component?

 Answer NO

#Set root password:  Set a password that you will remember, and re-enter it  (this is for you, store it somewhere in case you need to manage the node).


#Remove anonymous users?  
 YES

#Disallow root login remotely? 
 NO

#Remove test database? 
 NO

#Reload privilege tables? 
 Y


#now we need to go in and create the bms user:

 mysql

#Ubuntu responds with mysql>

 create database bms;


#responds with OK

 create user bmslocal@'%' identified by 'bms';
 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON bms.* to 'bmslocal'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
 FLUSH privileges;
 quit;

#this puts you back at command prompt



 Continue with final steps of installation 





#now start the node
dotnet BiblePay.BMSD.dll

#The node should respond with a top level menu and continue running.


To test the node, point a web browser at:

https://your_sanc_ip:8443/BMS/Status
#You will see WARNING: SSL Certificate invalid.  Just click Details, Proceed anyway (this is OK for the local machine).  In mainnet, the node will use our wildcard SSL cert.
