INSTALL STEPS

BEFORE YOU START

Please visit https://filezilla-project.org/ and download and install FileZilla.

Select Download FileZilla Client (https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client)

We will need to use this FTP software to access our metaverse server for the installation.

PART 1 - Droplet Creation

Step 1.

On your DigitalOcean click on the “Create Metaverse Droplet” button.

Step 2:

Choose a Region (Note: Choose region near to you for best results)

Step 3:

Make sure the right image is selected (It should say “Metaverse vX.XX on Ubuntu”)

Step 4:

• e. Select 1 GB Option (Approx. $6-8 USD per month)

Step 5:

In the Authentication Method section select the password method.

Step 6:

Create your root password (Note: Please make note of this password and save it for later use. You can change this in the future in Ubuntu via Linux commands)

Step 7:

Enter tag name “metaverse” (NOTE: This can be anything you like, we use metaverse for easily identifying your new droplet)

Step 8:

Click create droplet

PART 2 - Add an “A” Record to Domain

Step 1:

Go to your domain name provider and add a new “A” record as follows:

1. In your Domain Name provider, click on the domain name you want to add an “A” record to.
2. Go to DNS management
3. Select “A” record
4. Add “A” record with the following details:

• Host name: metaverse
• Destination ipv4 address: Enter droplet ip address (http://your_droplet_public_ipv4)
• TTL : 28800 (Or system default)
• Click “add record”

Step 2:

Log back into your DigitalOcean Control Panel

Step 3:

Now wait for while (It can take up to 24 hours) to get domain record updated from your Domain Provider. Open a web console view of your server and try to ping your new subdomain by using the following linux command:

ping metaverse.yourdomain.com

When the ping works you can move onto the next part.

PART 3 (While waiting for DNS Propogation) - FileZilla Setup

1. Please open FileZilla and select File=>Site Manager
2. Now go and get your DigitalOcean Server IP Address from the droplet you created
3. Select the New Site button and give your site a name
4. In the protocol section dropdown select SFTP
5. In the Host section enter your IP address for your server
6. For user enter root
7. For password, use the password you had entered before when creating your droplet in Part 1 (Your root password)
8. Hit the OK button
9. Open the Site Manager again and this time select the server and hit connect
10. If you get any message for an Unknown Host Key simply hit OK
11. If all went well you should be connected to the server

PART 4 - SSH Setup

Step 1:

Open a console if you haven’t already got a console working. To do so, in your DigitalOcean dashboard select your droplet and inside your droplet in the top right you should see a “Console” link. Click on that to open up a console window so you can now write linux commands via command line.

Step 2:

Type in the following command to start setting up your SSH in the root folder:

cd ..

sudo ./setup-ssl.sh

When you get the message for redirect, select 2 to redirect.

Step 3:

When done you should be able to access the install.php link by using a web browser to visit:

https://metaverse.yourdomain.com/install.php

PART 5 - Install Steps

Step 1:

Now enter a VERY powerful password for your database. Please note that this needs to be kept secret as it gives anyone access to your database. To protect your users, all Chaarmi databases are encrypted with AES encryption, so even if someone trys to steal the data, unless they have this password, they cannot decrypt the data.

Step 2:

Click on Test Connection and Step 2 Button. Hit OK to continue.

Step 3:

You need to obtain a PhotonEngine Realtime License key. The free tier is a 20 CCU, and Chaarmi free server supports up to 4 CCU per plot. Get the key by visiting https://www.photonengine.com and setting up a Realtime license.

Step 4:

Come back to the installation and continue to enter in the details including the username you want for your Chaarmi metaverse backend as well as the password and your Admin email.

Step 5:

Click on Finalization and Step 3 button.

Step 6:

Now lets open FileZilla and go to the following folder in your server:

-Double click the two dots to go up to the highest directory

-go to var/www/html

-You should now see a db.php file and the install.php file

-DOWNLOAD the db.php file to your computer

-DELETE the db.php file and install.php file from the server

-GO UP one folder level and you should now see db_connect_info

-Open db_connect_info and then copy the db.php file to that folder

Step 7:

You should now be able to navigate to your backend via the link in the install page or by going directly to:

https://metaverse.yourdomain.com/my-admin/

-Test your FRONTEND by visiting:

https://metaverse.yourdomain.com

If all went well you have successfully installed your metaverse galaxy!
