Proving via CLI

Introduction

The Nexus Network CLI is a command-line tool for contributing compute resources to the network.

Install Script

Quick install (scripted):

curl https://cli.nexus.xyz/compute | sh

The bare cli.nexus.xyz one-liner now installs the Nexus Exchange CLI. The compute/prover CLI installs from the cli.nexus.xyz/compute path shown above. Existing installs keep working — the nexus-network command is unchanged.

After installing, restart or refresh your terminal (e.g. source ~/.bashrc, source ~/.zshrc, etc.). To start with an existing node ID:

nexus-network start --node-id <your-node-id>

Alternatively, register your wallet address and create a node ID with the CLI, or at app.nexus.xyz:

nexus-network register-user --wallet-address <your-wallet-address>
nexus-network register-node
nexus-network start

The register-user and register-node commands will save your credentials to ~/.nexus/credentials.json. To clear credentials, run:

nexus-network logout
