cd $HOME
curl -L -o dkn-compute-node.zip https://github.com/firstbatchxyz/dkn-compute-launcher/releases/latest/download/dkn-compute-launcher-linux-amd64.zip

unzip dkn-compute-node.zip

cd dkn-compute-node

./dkn-compute-launcher

1. Enter your DKN wallet Secret key (Your metamask Private Key without 0x)

2. Pick a Model

• I've picked three models (Gemini and Openrouter) by writing 10,25
• Gemini is a google API with upto 1500 free requests daily, No cost, doesn't need VPS resources. Get your Google API here
• OpenRouter is an API, You can buy credits with crypto to use it, Get API here, I think this one gives better points
• Ollama downloads and runs a local model host locally in your server, No cost, but it uses your VPS or system resources. It needs a powerfull VPS, you can ignore and only use Openrouter and Gemini
• OpenAI is an API but it needs a monthly payment which means it may not give you points if you use free version, if you have chosen it, get your API here

3. Skip Jina & Serper API key by pressing Enter

4. Now your node will start Downloading Models files and Testing them each model must pass its test and it only depends on your system specification

Error: If you had any port conflicts, you must change the ports in .env file or use this: nano $HOME/dkn-compute-node/.env

If you wanted to restart the node to change Models, you can clear DKN_MODELS= variable in .env file, then rerun Dria using ./dkn-compute-launcher

When the Node started logging, Head back to the first lines of the logs and check if both Gemini and OpenRouter passed their tests and see their name in front of using models like mine in the following picture:

Now you ensured that your Models passed the test and your node is running, you should re-run your node to start it in a screen. press Ctrl+C and exit the node

screen -S dria

./dkn-compute-launcher

You can minimze the screen with CTRL+A+D

To open your screen again:screen -r dria

Stop Ollama Node

pgrep ollama
# Example: if 74877, then use:
kill 74877

# OR

sudo systemctl stop ollama
sudo systemctl disable ollama

Stop Dria (Terminate screen)
