<center>CHAPTER TWO: RUN THE SCRIPTS AND WATCH THE FIREWORKS HAPPEN</center>
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Login with your previously setup Username/Password
- Brainlessly type (no copy paste!) in the commands below, you have better things to worry about!
- When prompted for a password, enter in the same password you used to login at first!

sudo apt-get -y install git
git clone https://github.com/omotherhen/firstTimeMiningInstall/
cd firstTimeMiningInstall
bash nodeScript.sh

- If the screen goes black, hit BACKSPACE. It's just a screensaver for command line!
- That's it! The script will do the rest of the work for you. You're done setting up your first Linux node in a VM!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<center>NOTE</center>
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Whenever you power down a VM, shutdown the steem software within it first by pressing CTRL-C and waiting for it to finish
- Then you can click 'X' on the VM window and shutdown
- Once you power the VM up again and want to startup the node, simply type in:
cd ~/steem/programs/steemd && ./steemd
