Download Satergo & Setup​

Now, downloading the Satergo wallet since it's open source is a little different. I haven't found a good way to make a shortcut icon.

You can inspect their code in the Satergo Wallet Github

  1. Basically, from the Satergo website, download the wallet according to your operating system.
  2. There might be missing steps here, but once you download and unzip the file, double click run.command from the gui explorer or ./run.command from terminal.
  3. If done correctly, you'll see the Satergo welcome screen below. Click Remote Node.

Enable Port Forwarding​

This is definitely tricky. You'll need to get into your router and enable "open" Port Forwarding of 9053 and 9030.

Satergo has a good wiki on Initial Node Configuration regarding this.

Per ErgoNodes.net you'll need to allow port forwarding of your ergo node thru your home router for an incoming and outgoing connection.

This section is lacking, please feel free to add helpful steps here.

Congrats!​

You now have a full node running on a raspberry pi with a beautiful wallet gui. All open source, permissionless, and maxmimized trustlessness.
