# cloud-eth2
> scripts and instructions for running an eth2 node on aws ec2 (ubuntu)
Launch an EC2 instance with the Ubuntu Server 20 AMI
I went with a `c4.xlarge` with 400GB free
I have ports 30303 and 13000 open in your secuirty group and 22 for ssh from my home ip
SSH in and clone down this repo:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/austintgriffith/cloud-eth2.git
```
Navigate to the cloud-eth2/geth directory and install Geth (eth1 client):
```bash
cd ~/cloud-eth2
cd geth
chmod +x *.sh
./installAndUpdate.sh
```
Tell `pm2` (a process manager) to run our geth node on boot:
```bash
pm2 start geth.js
pm2 save
pm2 startup
```
It will give you a PATH command you need to run:
You should be able to follow your `geth.log` now (even after you reboot the machine, it should run at boot):
```bash
cd ~/cloud-eth2/geth
tail -f geth.log
```
> It could take a while for your geth node to sync with the mainnet eth1 chain. (You know it is done when it is processing 1 block at a time.)
While it syncs, you can get started with Prysm...
Navigate to the prysm folder, make the script executable, and install:
```bash
cd ~/cloud-eth2
cd prysm
chmod +x *.sh
./installAndUpdate.sh
```
Now you can launch your Prysm beacon chain process and add it to PM2:
```bash
pm2 start prysm.js
pm2 save
```
You can follow the logs for your Prysm beacon chain:
```bash
tail -f prysm.log
```
You'll notice that it needs to wait for the geth node to be in sync first:
You will want to move your ETH2 keys from the LaunchPad into `~/cloud-eth2/prysm/eth2_validator_keys`.
Then, run the import script to bring them into Prysm:
```bash
cd ~/cloud-eth2
cd prysm
./importKeys.sh
```
Finally, you are ready to fire up your validator:
```bash
pm2 start validator.js
pm2 save
```
