How to install Asuga Labs

Once you entered the Dashboard, click on the Button at the bottom left - Download and select the OS you're using.

We suggest to use a VPS. You can select between a Linux VPS and a Windows VPS. Typically Linux is a bit more performant but some users prefer using Windows.

Windows

After downloading the Windows Version, just go ahead and start the .exe. In some cases your Antivirus is blocking the Application. In that case, please whitelist the .exe. Once started, Windows will give you a warning - click on "More Info" & then confirm that you want to start the Bot. A CLI window will open. You can now just leave that CLI window open in the Background.

MacOS

After downloading the MacOS Version you'll see a .zip Archive. Double click to decompress and you'll get an Executable. Go ahead and double click on it, to open.

Since Apple needs MacOS Apps to be signed (we're just waiting for Apple right now to sign our Application) you'll get a warning because the App is not signed yet.

Don't worry! You only have to do that the first time you open the application.

To Bypass that warning, just click "Cancel" (the bottom button)

After that, head over to your System Settings, click on Privacy & Safety, scroll down until you see the block warning of "asuga". On the right, click on "Open Anyways". And confirm that in the Dialog.

Now you're able to open the Asuga application like you're used to. Open it and let it run in the Background.

Linux

To download Linux Binaries (it was compiled on an Ubuntu OS), run the following command.

wget https://cdn.asuga.io/beta-0.3.5/asuga-linux

Mark it as executable.

chmod +x asuga-linux

After that you're able to run it using the following command.

./asuga-linux

To run it when you're not actively on the Server, please create a systemd file. You can do that by running:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/asuga.service

Now, paste the following. Please change the ExecStart to the path, you have saved your asuga-linux executable.

[Unit]
Description=Solana Validator
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
User=root
ExecStart=/home/sol/asuga-linux

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Once done, press ctrl + s & ctrl + x to exit and start the service.

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start asuga
sudo journalctl -u asuga -f

The last command should open the logs of the bot so you can complete verification like described on the next page.
