Install FIO Chain Node Using Packages
Install Script
Check out the Install Script to perform an all-in-one installation, configuration and startup of FIO Chain
The following setup is for a FIO API Node installation using pre-built packages.
These packages are purpose-built to quickly bring up a node, including systemd, logrotate, apparmor, and compsec integration, and have reasonable defaults in the config.
Latest Release
Get the latest release from the FIO Releases.
Download and validate install packages
Releases may be downloaded manually or pulled programmatically, i.e. using curl, by:
curl -sO https://github.com/fioprotocol/fio/releases/download/v3.4.0/fioprotocol-3.4.0-ubuntu-18.04-amd64.deb
Verify checksum:
md5sum fioprotocol-3.4.0-ubuntu-18.04-amd64.deb
Compare to the checksum generated above with the ones found on the Official Release page
e18d9c47f1211b03662269b2b4c6622a fioprotocol-3.4.x-latest-ubuntu-18.04-amd64.deb
Remove existing history directories (optional):
This step should be performed only if you are upgrading from an older version, and you are NOT running a history node.
cd /var/lib
sudo rm -fr fio/data fio/history fio/history_index
Install the release
sudo apt install ./fioprotocol-3.4.x-latest-ubuntu-18.04-amd64.deb
rm fioprotocol-3.4.x-latest-ubuntu-18.04-amd64.deb

Check for error
To Monitor AppArmor logging for issues
Inspect either the file 'kern.log' or 'messages' located in /var/log, i.e.:
tail -f /var/log/kern.log
To Disable an AppArmor profile
sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.local.bin.fio-nodeos /etc/apparmor.d/disable/
sudo apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.local.bin.fio-wallet
Re-enable an AppArmor profile
sudo rm /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.local.bin.fio-nodeos
sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.local.bin.fio-nodeos
The default genesis file is for startup of a mainnet node. If running a testnet node, copy the testnet genesis configuration file into place:
sudo cp /etc/fio/nodeos/genesis-testnet.json /etc/fio/nodeos/genesis.json
Set-up nodeos configuration file
The default genesis file is for startup of a mainnet node. If running a testnet node, copy the testnet genesis configuration file into place:
