IOTA-node

A CLI and TUI to install and manage a full IOTA node

Description

There are a lot of tutorials like this one or this one. The problem with this tutorials is that they take quite some time and they aren't easy to follow for people who are new to a Linux environement.

The purpose of this script is to automate the installation of an IOTA full node. It takes care of installing the IRI, chosing the parameters, installing extra packages such as Nelson and IOTA-PM, managing your neighbors, get information about your node and more.

More screenshots can be found in this album.
