* Terminal 2: Connect to your MyNode Device ([see options](https://mynodebtc.github.io/advanced/linux-terminal.html))
* Command: `ssh admin@[MyNode ip address]`
* Default credentials: admin/bolt
2. Clone the latest release from the git repo on your PC or laptop
* Run `git clone https://github.com/mynodebtc/mynode.git`
* Run `cd mynode`
* Run `git checkout tags/latest_release`
2. Clone the latest release from the git repo on your PC or laptop, or update your existing clone
* First-time setup:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mynodebtc/mynode.git
cd mynode
git checkout tags/latest_release
```
* Existing clone:
```bash
cd mynode
git fetch --force https://github.com/mynodebtc/mynode.git 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
git checkout tags/latest_release
```
* Note: `latest_release` is a moving tag, so an existing clone can have a stale local tag. The `git fetch --force ... 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'` command refreshes tags before checkout.
3. Run `make rootfs`
4. Run `make start_file_server`
* This will run a local HTTP server so your device can download files
