`monerod` is the @daemon software that ships with the Monero tree. It is a console program, and manages the blockchain. While a bitcoin wallet manages both an account and the blockchain, Monero separates these: `monerod` handles the blockchain, and `monero-wallet-cli` handles the account.

This guide assumes you have already set up your VPS account and are using SSH to tunnel into the server console.

|
### Make sure that port 18080 is open
|
|
|
`monerod` uses this port to communicate with other nodes on the Monero network.
|
|
|
Example if using `ufw`: `sudo ufw allow 18080` Example if using `iptables`: `sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 18080 -j ACCEPT`
