Setting up a WAVE$ node

Hey all!

Today I am going to show you how to setup a waves node! So a few things, before we begin!

1. I do not endorse any specific companies or specific altcoins.

2. This guide will assume that you are going to run on a windows build.

3. ** You must have roughly .4TB -1TB free for space.**

Node Setup Guide

1. Step One: First and foremost you will need to download and install JavaSE JDK 8, which can be found here.

2. Step Two: Right click on computer and select properties

3. You will select "advanced system settings."

4. Select Environment variables

5. Scroll down to where you see path, click edit. If all text is highlighted in PATH simply press right arrow to scroll to end. Add ";JAVA_HOME/bin" to the end of your environment path.

6. In your search bar in windows, bring up command prompt. You can do this by typing cmd.

7. In command prompt issue command "java -version." You should get a picture like this...

8. Alright, before starting next step, if you have been using waves already, please backup your wallet.dat and then delete.

9. Download Waves.jar from here. And entire platform here.

10. Extract all files to root drive IE; C:, D:.

11. Edit your waves-testnet.json and waves-mainnet.conf file so that no seed nor api hash information is in there. (We will come back to this later.)

12. In command prompt again you will navigate to the folder you extracted all the node files to. To change directories in command prompt simply type "cd C:\waves."

13. In this step you should be pointed at the directory it should read C:\waves* . If you are type, " java -jar waves-0.6.6.jar waves-testnet.json" press enter

14. Intermission..... listen to this sweet video by Guthrie Govan, called "waves."
