Grab the Tanto bitcoin node from our Webshop or perhaps Custom Build your own node, and let's get started!
In this section you will recieve instruction on setting up and interacting with RoninUI graphical user interface.
NOTICE: Must plug Ethernet cable in first - before powering on!
- Plug in the Ethernet cable first, then the power cord.
- Your Tanto will automatically begin setup, so do not disconnect power during this time.
- Wait 10 minutes until the red light appears on your node.
- Open your web browser.
- Navigate to: http://ronindojo.local
- Alternatively obtain the IP address of your Tanto, then enter it into the URL bar

- You will be greeted by the initial Setup screen, click "Let's start".
- Note down your Root user credentials, and be sure to keep these somewhere safe.
- Next set your user password which will be used to log into RoninUI.
- Use a strong alphanumeric password (numbers 0-9 and letters A-Z capital/lowercase)
- Do not use special characters (@,#,&,?, etc)

- Now wait for the initialization to complete. This takes approximately 45 minutes.
- Following initialization, you can click through to your RoninUI dashboard.
- Wait until the blockchain finishes downloading, and the indexer is complete before using your Tanto.

TIP: Your node will not be functional until the initial blockchain download and indexer compaction has finished.
NOTICE: Do not force restart your Tanto or cut power as this can cause issues!
NOTICE: Please follow the MicroSD Card Troubleshooting Section if you need to reflash your Tanto!
While waiting for your blockchain download to complete, get familiar with the RoninUI section.
