Hi There,
I cannot get yum to run… following the set up page and loading the first line dependancies…
sudo yum update -y

I get:
westy@Relay:~$ sudo yum update -y
sudo: yum: command not found

Then I dry to load all the repositories again…
and get
westy@Relay:~ sudo apt install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-x11 virtualbox-guest-utils Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done virtualbox-guest-dkms is already the newest version (6.1.16-dfsg-6~ubuntu1.20.04.1). virtualbox-guest-utils is already the newest version (6.1.16-dfsg-6~ubuntu1.20.04.1). virtualbox-guest-x11 is already the newest version (6.1.16-dfsg-6~ubuntu1.20.04.1). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded. westy@Relay:~

I have tried actually loading yum by trying to install it separately…
useing:
westy@Relay:~ sudo apt-get install -y yum Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done **E: Unable to locate package yum** westy@Relay:~

say it cannot find the package!
I have tried fresh installing yum …

Hi!

Which setup page are your referring to?

https://cardano-foundation.gitbook.io/stake-pool-course/stake-pool-guide/getting-started/install-node

ok, probably you have Ubuntu OS instead of Suse…
there are instructions for Ubuntu on this user guide
https://docs.cardano.org/projects/cardano-node/en/latest/getting-started/install.html
And you dont necessary need to build the cardano-node since IOHK also providing precompiled binaries:

This is all to complex. I am out for now… Way too much mucking around to get this up and running… I do not have days and days to learn all of this stuff.

This will be the weakness in the so called decentralised network… Only those that are developers will participate and it will phase out due to difficulty to get this system up and running.

I cannot see it growing too much because if you want a network adoption rate and growth… Then you need to make it easy to adopt.

I can understand that you’re frustrated. But willingness to choose/learn the correct commands for your linux distribution would be a pro if you want to run a server. :slight_smile: Decentralization is rather limited by other factors…

Hi!

So if you still have questions you can create new topic for it.

I think I will just keep dedication my hashing power to Eth and Doge. This is off the hook difficult and I lost interest after about 5 hours of getting no where. The Tutorials just do not work
