Manual Linux Installation (Advanced)

Note: This guide replicates what our Auto-Installer does manually. We use the standard path /opt/primetradingbot.

1. Update System & Install Dependencies

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y ufw curl

2. Prepare Directory

We will use the standard directory /opt/primetradingbot.

sudo mkdir -p /opt/primetradingbot

3. Upload Bot Files

Upload your server.bin (and config.json if you have one) to /opt/primetradingbot/.

Then set permissions:

sudo chmod +x /opt/primetradingbot/server.bin

4. Configure Firewall (UFW)

sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw allow 8765/tcp
sudo ufw enable

5. Create Systemd Service

Create the service file:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/primetradingbot.service

Paste this content (matches Auto-Installer configuration):

[Unit]
Description=Prime Trading Bot Server
After=network.target

[Service]
# You can change User=root to a specific user if needed
User=root
WorkingDirectory=/opt/primetradingbot
ExecStart=/opt/primetradingbot/server.bin
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
StandardOutput=append:/opt/primetradingbot/server.log
StandardError=append:/opt/primetradingbot/server.error.log

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save and exit (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X).

6. Start the Service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable primetradingbot
sudo systemctl start primetradingbot

7. Verify

sudo systemctl status primetradingbot
