# How to seed a Hyperdrive website on Debian 10

published: 2020-09-12

1. Install a recent version of Node.js.

`sudo -i`

`curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash -`

`apt-get install -y nodejs fuse`

2. Install the Hyperdrive daemon.

`npm install -g hyperdrive-daemon && exit`

The `exit` is necessary so that you're back in your normal user account again.

3. Set up the Fuse mount:

`mkdir ~/Hyperdrive`

`hyperdrive fuse-setup`

4. Start the Hyperdrive daemon. (You should do this in a multiplexer, as it will run in the foreground.)

`hyperdrive start --foreground`

5. Seed your first site.

`cd ~/Hyperdrive && hyperdrive mount MakeUpANameHere SiteKeyHere`
