Private Key

This script can generate a private key for you, or you can generate your own private key on the Desktop software.

Steps generate your own private key.

1. Download and install Aquila v1.2.0.2 for Windows - Download Link - https://github.com/aquilacoin/AquilaX/releases/
2. Go to Tools -> Click "Debug Console"
3. Type the following command: masternode genkey
4. You now have your generated Private Key (MasternodePrivKey)

VPS installation

First you will need a VPS to continue on with this guide. If you do not have one get one from here Vultr.

Next step is to download the script on the vps with command below.

cd &&  bash -c "$(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquilacoin/Aquila-Script/master/aquila-install.sh)"

You will have 6 options one you run the command above.

1. This option Will install a fresh MNN VPS instance
2. This option will update your MN wallet on the vps if a network or wallet update is needed.
3. This option will Start Aquila Masternode
4. This option will Stop Aquila Masternode
5. This option will show Aquila Server Status
6. This option will Rebuild Aquila Masternode Index

If you need to go back and either start or stop Aquila just use this command.

cd &&  bash -c "$(wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquilacoin/Aquila-Script/master/aquila-install.sh)"

That command above will be your shortcut to control your masternode. More commands will come in time.

Once the VPS installation is finished.

Check the block height

watch ./Aquila-cli getinfo

We want the blocks to match whats on the Aquila block explorer (http://exploreraqx.aquila.online/)

Once they match you can proceed with the rest of the guide.

Once the block height matches the block explorer issue the following command.

CTRL and C  at the same time  (CTRL KEY and C KEY)
