Connect your LooPro AI Instance to LooPIN Network​

Prerequisites​

Before you get started, ensure you meet the following requirements:

  • A stable network connection and open ports for cluster access.
  • An Ubuntu system with Nvidia GPUs installed, as currently, LooPIN only supports this configuration.

Steps to Join LooPIN​

  1. Register on LooPIN: Head over to loopin.network and sign up using your email or Google account.
  2. Prepare Your Machine: Ensure you have a bare metal machine with an Nvidia GPU. Navigate to the "server" section on the navbar and click on "Deploy a new machine".
  3. CLI Worker Registration:
  • Open a terminal on your Ubuntu system.
  • Run the following command to register your machine as a LooPIN worker (Find it in your guidance page):
curl -fsSL https://files.loopin.network/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --code <your-unique-code>
  • This command downloads and executes the LooPIN installation script, registering your machine with the provided unique code.
  1. Installation and Verification: The script will check if your machine meets the requirements and will install necessary drivers, including the Nvidia GPU driver. It will then verify your setup and register your worker. Upon successful installation, you should see the message:
LooPIN Client Connected! Waiting for the on-chain verification...

This indicates that the client application is installed and awaiting connection. The first-time connection may take approximately 5-10 minutes, depending on your network speed.

  1. Join the Cluster: Once your machine connects to our cluster and shows an online tag, you are ready to contribute your idle GPU hours to the pool or engage in liquidity swapping.

What You'll Need​

For a smooth setup, ensure you have:

  • A stable internet connection to download necessary files and communicate with the LooPIN network.
  • An Ubuntu system with Nvidia GPUs: This is crucial for the hardware compatibility with LooPIN's requirements.

By following these steps, you'll be fully set to start leveraging your hardware on the LooPIN network.
