Windows: Use Termius app

3. Initial Setup

# Update system
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Using loader:

tmux
sudo chmod 777 ./tpm-loader
./tpm-loader

nano config.json5

See Config Structure for details.

Running 24/7

Tmux (Recommended)

# Start
tmux
cd ~/tpm && node index.js
# Detach: Ctrl+B, then D

# Reattach
tmux a

# Kill session
tmux kill-session -t 0

PM2 (Alternative)

npm install -g pm2
pm2 start index.js --name tpm
pm2 logs tpm
pm2 restart tpm

Monitoring & Maintenance

Check resources:

free -h    # Memory
df -h      # Disk
top        # CPU

Update system:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
cd ~/tpm && npm install .

Restart bot:

# Tmux: kill session then restart
# PM2: pm2 restart tpm

Multiple Accounts

Requirements:

• 1 account: 1GB RAM

• 2-3 accounts: 2GB RAM

• 4+ accounts: 4GB RAM or multiple VPS

Config:

igns: ["Account1", "Account2", "Account3"]

1. Use SSH keys

2. Keep system updated

3. Enable UFW firewall

4. Backup config.json5 regularly:

cp ~/tpm/config.json5 ~/backups/config-$(date +%Y%m%d).json5

Troubleshooting

Bot won't start: Check Node.js version (node --version) and config.json5 syntax

Disconnects: Check ping mc.hypixel.net and free -h (may need RAM upgrade)

Can't connect: Verify IP, check VPS running in dashboard, ensure port 22 open
