Install Script

Use our installation script:
curl https://cli.nexus.xyz/ | sh
Restart or refresh your terminal (‘source ~/.bashrc, ‘source ~/.zshrc’, etc.). To start with an existing node ID, run:
nexus-network start --node-id <your-node-id>
Alternatively, you can register your wallet address and create a node ID with the CLI, or at 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
