Guide to help you setup your masternode with Crave on a VPS. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usS0ltBWNA0

<b>Things Needed:</b>

VPS From Vultr : https://goo.gl/mxcb24 
500 Tokens from Cryptopia : https://goo.gl/auqctL
FTP : fillezilla
Putty : http://www.putty.org/

Once you have created and launched your masternode VPS, login as root and create a new user:

Step 1
Run these commands:

<code>adduser  newUsername 
usermod -aG sudo  newUsername</code>

Step 2:
Run these commands to make a swapfile (for small VPS) :
<code>
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000
sudo mkswap /var/swap.img
sudo swapon /var/swap.img
</code>

Run free again to confirm you now have a swapfile. Note: If you chose a different server
option from Vultr, with less RAM, you’ll need a LARGER swapfile, i.e. set the count
parameter to something larger like 2048, 4096 etc. If the compilation steps fails partway
through this is usually the reason.

To make the swap file persist when the server is rebooted:
<code>
sudo chmod 0600 /var/swap.img
sudo chown root:root /var/swap.img
sudo nano /etc/fstab
</code>
Append the following line to the end of the file:
<code>
/var/swap.img none swap sw 0 0 
</code>
Save the file and exit

Step 3: Firewall  ( can do this step at anytime )
<code>
sudo ufw allow OpenSSH
sudo ufw allow 9999
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw enable 
</code>

Step 4 : Compiling the wallet
<code>
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/CooleRRSA/crave.git
</code>

Step 5: You need to install dependencies
<code>
sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y install build-essential libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libcrypto++-dev libqrencode-dev libminiupnpc-dev libgmp-dev libgmp3-dev autoconf autogen automake libtool
</code>

Step 6
    - You need to enter your Crave folder, use WinSCP to find the path. For exemple if the path is /home/crave , you need to use this command :
<code>
cd /home/crave
cd src
sudo make -f makefile.unix
</code>


If there is a file named "craved", then your wallet is ready.

Step 7 Run Wallet to generate conf. error will be presented here.
<code>
./craved -daemon
</code>

Now you need to configure your wallet, first we need to close the wallet and edit the conf file :
<code>
./craved stop
cd ..
cd ..
cd .crave
sudo nano crave.conf
</code>

With Nano add the following:
<code>
rpcuser=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
rpcpassword=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
#----
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
staking=0
#--------------------
</code>
Save the file.

Now we restart the wallet and we wait it the get fully synced

Step 8 When your wallet is synced, you need to setup the masternode
<code>
./craved masternode genkey
</code>

Step 9     Lets create a new receiving address 
<code>
./craved getaccountaddress 0
</code>

This address will receive your coins. Save also this one in the txt file. 
Open your Windows wallet if it isnt yet and send exactly 500 crave to this address. You'll have to pay a fee in addition.
You now need to wait for 10 confirmations before we continue.

Step 10  Encrypt wallet
<code>
./craved encryptwallet YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD
</code>

Step 11 Edit Conf
<code>
cd ..
cd ..
cd .crave
sudo nano crave.conf
</code>


The conf file must look like that :
<code>
rpcuser=SomeRandomString
rpcpassword=EvenLongerRandomString
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
staking=0
logtimestamps=1

port=9999
masternode=1
masternodeaddr=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9999
masternodeprivkey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
</code>

Masternodeaddr is the ip and the port used by your VPS. The port must be open.
Masternodeprivekey is the string you got from the "masternodegenkey" command.


Step 12 You need to restart the wallet now 
<code>
cd ..
cd crave/src
./craved
</code>

The wallet in now ready to run the masternode
<code>
./craved getbalance
</code>
You should get 500.00000000


We can now start the masternode
<code>./craved masternode start YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD
</code>
