This tutorial will guide you on how to quickly install a zen protocol node on a Cloud VPS

I choose to use [https://www.vultr.com/](https://www.vultr.com/) as my cloud VPS server provider because its easy to install the VPS with only a few clicks because its only $5/month, and because we can choose different server locations worldwide

First, let’s deploy the VPS

Please follow the video I have created, It will explain how to easily deploy the VPS with Ubuntu 18.04

After we deployed the VPS now, we are ready to install the zen node
