This guide is focused on installing Sphinx-relay on top of myNode. Information about myNode can be found at: https://mynodebtc.com/.
### Preparations
* Be able to connect with your node through SSH.
* Make sure you are running LND version `0.9.0` or higher. This can be seen at http://mynode.local/lnd at the right top. Or by inserting the following console command:
```sh
$ lncli getinfo
> "version": "0.9.0-beta commit=v0.9.0-beta"
```
* Open port `3001/TCP` on your router. How to do this is not included in this guide. https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ is one of the many websites that can be used to check if a port is opened on your network.

## Let's Start
### Open port 3001 on myNode
Open up a console window with SSH. And log in as root
```sh
$ sudo su
```
Open up port 3001 on your machine and make sure it has been added to the list.
```sh
$ ufw allow 3001 comment 'allow Sphinx-Chat'
$ ufw status
> Status: active
>
> To Action From
> -- ------ ----
> 3001 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) # Sphinx-Chat
```
### Download
login as user bitcoin.
```sh
$ sudo su bitcoin
$ cd
```
Clone the repository from Github and install the package.
If `accept-keysend=1` is already included you can continue without changing anything. If `accept-keysend=1` is not included, add it to a new line and click the `Save` button. This will restart your device. (Restarting could take up to several minutes but also hours, so be patient.)
