Setup your VPS with your host (I use Digitalocean) on Ubuntu 16.04

Once your droplet has been set up, log in as root using a SSH client. 

I use Putty: https://www.putty.org/

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EXACTLY 50,000 BWS 2.0 IN A WALLET ADDRESS NAMED MN1

Create your swap file:
sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

**Install Fireware and Set Rules for access:

sudo git clone https://github.com/raymaker/bitcoinwspectrum.git


cd bitcoinwspectrum


./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-tests=no --without-gui && make && sudo make install      ----THIS IS ALL ONE LINE

SETUP YOUR BWS.CONF FILE 

NEXT

Now that you have the wallet up and running on your VPS... now lets set up the config files for both the VPS MN wallet and your local PC wallet.

go to your Local PC wallet, and in the Debug window type the following command to produce a masternode key.

"masternode genkey" without the quotations.

"Masternode outputs" without the quotations.


You will need to copy and paste this masternode key in two locations so don't lose it!

First in the wallet config file on the VPS, and then again on the masternode.config file in your local wallet. 

Now let's proceed with the VPS wallet config first (Using the Putty console)

VPS Config File
cd ~/
sudo nano ~/.bws/bws.conf

Then paste the set up log below with your info:
rpcuser=RANDOM USERNAME
rpcpassword=LONG RANDOM PASSWORD
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=0
server=1
daemon=1
logtimestamps=1
maxconnections=256
masternode=1
externalip=SERVER IP
bind=SERVER IP
masternodeaddr=SERVER IP:41799
masternodeprivkey=MASTERNODE PRIV KEY

now onto the local wallet masternode.config file

Open your local wallet (Windows/Mac) and click on "tools" now click "open masternode configuration file"

Go to the bottom of the text (the text describes how to lay out your configuration) and enter your MN info in the format below... less the "#" sign.

Example:
#mn1 127.0.0.2:41799 7gb6HNz8gRwVwKZLMGQ6XEaLjzPoxUNK4ui3Pig6mXA6RZ8xhsn 49012766543cac37369cf3813d6216bdddc1b9a8ed03ac690221be10aa5edd6c 0

![masternodeconf.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZtmX5su7FmihD7mrwuG53Cw5hKxEuA9nj2ii8jYPxDcm/masternodeconf.png)

masternode.conf format consists of a space seperated text file. Each line consisting of an alias, IP address followed by port, masternode private key, collateral output transaction id, collateral output index

First name your MN... then list your VPS public IP address and port, and then the masternode key you generated. 

Then the txid of the exact 50,000 BWS 2.0 you sent for the MN and the output index of that transaction.

Wait for the transaction to confirm (check in the transactions tab for this)

Exit your local wallet.... and restart.

Go to the masternode tab and click start.... you now have your first masternode running :)

To run your BWS wallet in the VPS type 

bwsd -daemon 

To stop the BWS wallet type 

bws-cli stop

TO CONFIRM YOUR VPS Masternode WALLET IS RUNNING, TYPE 

bws-cli masternode list-conf
