Quick Start
Android
The simplest way is to install and run the Android app.
Note
If you cannot use the Google Playstore, you can download a signed APK from Github.
Desktop
Desktop users can launch Minima from a JNLP file. The Java Network Launch Protocol.
Install Open Web Start
First, download and install Open Web Start.
Download the Minima JNLP file
Download the Minima JNLP file and open / double-click it to install Minima as an application. A desktop shortcut will be created for you and you will be shown a security warning, select Run.
To ensure that Minima is always launched with Open Web Start, you may need to right-click > open with... and choose Open Web Start. If possible, choose "always".
Mac & Windows
Further guidance can be found here for Mac and here for Windows.
CLI
At it's core, Minima is a Java application. So on a server or CLI the easiest way to run Minima is to install Java and download the latest minima.jar.
Note
You can download the latest version of Minima from the Minima GitHub releases page.
To run Minima, you need to have Java installed on your system. You can check if you have Java installed by running the following command in your terminal:
java -versionNote
If you don't have Java installed, you can download it from the Java website.
Navigate to the directory where you saved the Minima jar
cd /path/to/minima.jarRun Minima
Adding -mdsenable -mdspassword INSERTPASSWORD will enable the minidapp system.
Adding -p2pnodes megammr.minima.global:9001 will automatically connect you to the peer-to-peer network.
java -jar minima.jar -data .minima -mdsenable -mdspassword INSERTPASSWORDTip
When you first run Minima the first thing you need is to add some connections.
You can get this list by asking any user on the network to share their connections or by running
peers action:addpeers peerslist:megammr.minima.global:9001Alternatively, copy this link directly into the app when prompted to join the network (also in Settings > 'Add connections')
Docker
Start a new docker container
There is also a nice docker image that you can use if you have Docker installed. Set a secure password below.
docker run -d -e minima_mdspassword=INSERTYOURPASSWORD -e minima_desktop=true -v ~/minimadocker:/home/minima/data -p 9001-9003:9001-9003 --restart unless-stopped --name minima minimaglobal/minima:latestLog into your node
Then you log into your node via https://127.0.0.1:9003/
