Alephium can be installed and ran as service into minute with packages.

> Note : unless mainnet is ready, this package is running on testnet.

~~~

### Add Debian/Ubuntu repository

echo "deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] https://projects.iabsis.com/repository/alephium-pkg/debian buster main" \

  > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/alephium.list

### Update package list

apt update

### Install alephium

apt install alephium

~~~

> Note : this package has been build and tested with debian buster, but it should work on other releases.

### Config location

You may adjust config into `/etc/alephium/user.conf`

## Mining

Install the package according to your hardware

- CPU : `alephium-cpu`

- GPU (Nvidia) : `alephium-gpu`

Update the file `/etc/default/alephium-common` and change the `MINE_WITH` attribute. Finally, restart or start the service with `systemctl restart alephium-miner`.

### Proxy with Nginx

If you need to reach remotely the API, you can use Nginx as relay. This way, Nginx can add the missing TLS layer to encrypt requests.

> Warning : don't expose this API over the internet. This setup is probably not secure enough unless you protect your Nginx with a password.

Install Nginx package

    apt -y install nginx

Remove default website.

    rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Add create new file `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/alephium` with the following content.

~~~

server {

    server_name _;

    client_max_body_size 2M;

   location / {

	    proxy_set_header Host $host;

	    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

	    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;

	    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

	    proxy_pass http://localhost:12973;

   }

    listen 80;

}

~~~

Reload nginx

    systemctl reload nginx
