Instructions

1. Enable Hyper-V (Virtualization)

Method 1: Set through the Windows interface

1. Select Turn Windows features on or off from the Windows menu.

2. Check the options for Hyper-V and Virtual Machine Platform for Linux & Windows, then click Save.

3. Restart your computer.

Method 2: BIOS Settings

1. Restart Your Computer: During startup, press the designated key (typically F2, F10, F12, or Delete) to enter the BIOS settings.

Note: During startup, you may see a message at the bottom of the screen indicating the correct key to press to enter the BIOS setup. If you're unsure, check your computer’s motherboard manual for the exact key.

2. Navigate to Virtualization Settings:

• On most motherboards, the virtualization option can be found in sections like Advanced, CPU Configuration, or Overclocking Settings.

• Look for SVM Mode (as shown in the screenshot below) or other terms like CPU Virtualization, Intel VT-x, or Intel Virtualization Technology, depending on your processor.

3. Enable Hyper-V: Set SVM Mode or the equivalent setting to Enabled. This enables virtualization support required for Hyper-V.

4. Save and Exit: Save your changes and exit the BIOS. Your computer will restart.

2. Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

1. Open PowerShell

Open the Windows search bar and type "PowerShell".

In the search results, select "Run as Administrator" from the options on the right side of the screen (as shown in the screenshot below).

2. Install WSL: Execute the following command:

wsl --install

This command installs the Windows Subsystem for Linux, enabling a Linux environment to run directly on your Windows system. Ensure the command completes successfully before proceeding to the next step.

3. Install Docker

1. Download Docker Desktop : Download the Docker Desktop installer from the official website

2. Run the Installer

   Follow the instructions to complete the installation.

3. Restart Your Computer Once the installation is complete, restart your computer.

4. Disable Sleep Mode (Recommended)

1. Open Power Settings Go to [Settings > System > Power & Battery]

2. Change Sleep Mode to 'Never' In the "Screen and Sleep" section, set all options to 'Don't use' or 'Never'. If you're using a laptop, make sure to set sleep mode to 'Never' when running on battery power as well.

Disabling sleep mode can help prevent unexpected interruptions while running nodes.

5. Installing and Setting Up LFG Node CLI

1. Run PowerShell as Administrator.

2. Run the Docker program.

3. Execute the Installation Script

Copy and paste the command below into PowerShell and run it:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://link.lfg.inc/lfgnode-windows-script' -OutFile '$PWD\Windows_Install.ps1'; & '$PWD\Windows_Install.ps1'"

This script will automatically download and install the Meer Node CLI.

Once the command completes, your Node Address will be displayed.

4. Copy the Node Address and Access the Dashboard

Copy the Node Address displayed in PowerShell.

Use right-click to copy instead of Ctrl + C, as using Ctrl + C may interrupt the installation.

5. Access the Node Dashboard and Connect

LFG Node Dashboardnode.lfg.inc

6. Click [Add Node] → Enter the Node Address and assign a name → Click [Add]

7. After confirming the signature in wallet, the node will be successfully added.

8. Starting the Meer Node Server

Make sure the Docker program is running.

Once the Node Address has been added to the dashboard, return to PowerShell and press Enter.

9. When prompted with this message: 'Enter the workload number you would like to add'

enter 1.

Always enter 1, regardless of the number of licenses.)

10. After successful activation, you'll see: Workload added successfully

• Then you'll be prompted with: Would you like to run another workload? (y/n)

• Enter n to finish and exit.

Press Enter to exit the script.

Even if you install workloads on three different servers using the same wallet, only the one with the longest uptime will be counted toward your rewards.

Installation Complete

Once this process is finished, the Node CLI will be successfully installed and running.

For any issues or further assistance, please reach out to our team via the Discord community.

Only nodes that run for more than 75% of the 24-hour period (i.e., 18 hours) will be eligible for rewards. (Eligibility will be checked on a 24-hour basis.)
