Following on from our Introduction to WAX Hyperion Full History article, this next article in the series will walk through the process to build each of the Hyperion Software Components.
EOS RIO have an excellent Hyperion Documentation Repository as well as an installation script for all components, however in this article a manual build process will be covered.
Once again this Technical How To series will cover some of the EOS RIO same content and will add operational nuances from a practical stand point and our experience.

This article has been updated to reflect the current Hyperion deployment in September 2023.
Build WAX Hyperion Software Components
The Hyperion Full History service is a collection of eight purpose built EOS RIO software and industry standard applications.
This walk through will install all components excluding the SHIP node on a single Ubuntu 22.04 server, please reference WAX Technical How To #15.1 for infrastructure suggestions.
The process for building each of these primary building blocks is covered below:
WAX Software State-History (SHIP) Node
The WAX Hyperion deployment requires access to a fully sync’d WAX State-History Node, the current recommend version is v4.0.4wax02. This build process is extensively covered in WAX Technical How To #7.
RabbitMQ
To install the latest RabbitMQ currently 3.12.6 be sure to check their latest Cloudsmith Quick Start Script, this in our experience is the simplest way to ensure you are current and correctly built.
The summary process is below:
> sudo apt update
> sudo apt-get install curl gnupg apt-transport-https -y
#Team RabbitMQ's main signing key#
> curl -1sLf "https://keys.openpgp.org/vks/v1/by-fingerprint/0A9AF2115F4687BD29803A206B73A36E6026DFCA" | sudo gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/com.rabbitmq.team.gpg > /dev/null

Our current WAX Hyperion deployment is running on the latest Redis stable version v7.2.1 which is built as below:
> sudo apt install lsb-release curl gpg
#Redis Signing Key#
> curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg
#Latest Redis repository#
> echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.redis.io/deb $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list> sudo apt update
#Install Redis#
> sudo apt install redis
**Check Version**
> redis-server --versionNode.js
Hyperion requires Node.js v18 , our WAX Hyperion deployment is running the current LTS v18.18.0 which is built below:
#Download and import the Nodesource GPG key#
> sudo apt update
> sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
> sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
> curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg
#Create .deb repository#
> NODE_MAJOR=18
> echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_$NODE_MAJOR.x nodistro main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
#Install Node.js#
> sudo apt update
> sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
**Check Version**
> node -vPM2
The latest public version is 5.3.0 and is built as below:
> sudo apt update
#Install PM2#
> sudo npm install pm2@latest -g
**Check Version**
> pm2 -vElasticsearch
Currently our WAX Hyperion is using Elasticsearch 8.5.2 with great results, however the current recommended Elasticsearch version is 8.9.0 which I expect will work just as well or better. Build the latest Elasticsearch 8.x as below:
> sudo apt update
> sudo apt install apt-transport-https
> sudo apt install gpg
#Elasticsearch signing key#
> wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/elasticsearch-keyring.gpg
#Latest Elasticsearch 8.x repository#
> echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/elasticsearch-keyring.gpg] https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-8.x.list
#Install Elasticsearch#
> sudo apt update && sudo apt install elasticsearch
**Take note of the super-user password**Kibana
The utilised Kibana version should be paired with the installed Elasticsearch version, the process below will install the current version:
> sudo apt update
> sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
> sudo apt install gpg
#Elasticsearch signing key - Not needed if already added#
> wget -qO - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/elasticsearch-keyring.gpg
#Latest Elasticsearch 8.x repository - Not needed if already added#
> echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/elasticsearch-keyring.gpg] https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-8.x.list
#Install Kibana#
> sudo apt update && sudo apt install kibanaEOS RIO Hyperion Indexer and API
Currently (September 2023) the most robust and production ready version of Hyperion from our experience is 3.3.9–8 and is used in our WAX Hyperion Fully History Service. The EOS RIO Team are constantly developing and improving their code, the best way to stay on top of the current recommend version is to join the Hyperion Telegram Group. Build Hyperion from main as below:
> git clone https://github.com/eosrio/hyperion-history-api.git
> cd hyperion-history-api
> git checkout main
> npm install
> npm audit fixAfter all Hyperion Software Components are built and provisioned you can now proceed to configuration.
The next WAX Hyperion Full History sub article will walk through the technical configuration of each component.
