These are steps to setup nym-node using the new all in one binary.
Install
Step 1: Preparation
# export node name
monikor=AnyNodes
# prepare workspace
mkidr -p ~/nym
cd nym
# download pre-compiled nym-node binary, not nym-mixnode
wget https://github.com/nymtech/nym/releases/download/nym-binaries-v2024.13-magura-patched/nym-node
chmod +x nym-node
cp nym-node /usr/local/bin
# https://nymtech.net/operators/nodes/setup.html#mode-mixnode
# Init node
nym-node run --id $monikor --init-only --mode mixnode --verloc-bind-address 0.0.0.0:1790 --public-ips "$(curl -4 https://ifconfig.me)"
# After Init, some node information can be configured in these .toml files
nano ~/.nym/nym-nodes/$monikor/config/config.toml
nano ~/.nym/nym-nodes/$monikor/description.toml
# Try to run the node, if it can start well
nym-node run --id $monikor --deny-init --mode mixnode
# if it can start well, Ctrl+C to close it. We will run it as a Service
Step 2: Run nym-node as a service
# export node name
monikor=AnyNodes
# Create service file
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/nym-node.service > /dev/null <<EOL
[Unit]

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable nym-node.service
service nym-node start
journalctl -u nym-node -f
Upgrade
Note: please make sure you followed the above the guide to setup node and run it as a service, otherwise the upgrade procedure is different.
# Go to nym workspace
cd ~/nym
# download the latest nym-node binary from github: https://github.com/nymtech/nym/releases
wget https://github.com/nymtech/nym/releases/download/nym-binaries-v2024.13-magura-patched/nym-node
chmod +x nym-node
cp nym-node /usr/local/bin
# restart service
service nym-node restart
service nym-node status
