JOIN · LINUX
Linux
Three methods to join the MVN network from Linux. Compatible with Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, and any distro running Python 3.9+.
Prerequisites: Python 3.9+ installed, or Docker Desktop, or download the standalone binary (no dependencies required).
Via pip — recommended
The simplest method if Python is already installed on your system.
Install the MVN Node package
pip install mvn-nodeStart the node with your token (find it in your account settings)
mvn-node start --token <your-token>Optional — enable as a systemd service (auto-start on boot)
mvn-node install-service --token <your-token>Check node status
mvn-node statusStandalone binary — no Python
A self-contained binary compiled for x86_64 and ARM64. No system dependencies required.
Download the binary (x86_64)
wget https://lnsgroup.dev/download/mvn-node-linux-x64 -O mvn-nodeMake it executable
chmod +x mvn-nodeStart the node
./mvn-node start --token <your-token>Optional — move to global PATH
sudo mv mvn-node /usr/local/bin/mvn-nodeDocker — isolated environment
Ideal for servers, VPS, or if you prefer to run the node in a container. Requires Docker Engine 20.10+.
Launch the node container (replace YOUR_TOKEN)
docker run -d \
--name mvn-node \
--restart unless-stopped \
-e MVN_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN \
ghcr.io/marcusvance/mvn-node:latestVerify the container is running
docker logs mvn-node -fStop the node
docker stop mvn-nodeAccount
Where do I find my token?
Your personal token is in your account settings, under the “Network > My token” tab. Never share your token — it identifies your node and your credits.
