I would like to install Bitcoin Core on a CentOs server.
Where can I find instructions, or what are the exact steps to install Bitcoin Core on a CentOs Server?

There is an rpm family for Centos 7 - and remember you will need at least 300 GB of hard drive space to keep it running for a while - and the blockchain itself is approaching 200 GB alone. it hits the cPU cores pretty hard, and then you will need good security because it will invite every hacker in the world to break in. Within 12 hours of putting ours up - we had 59,000 attempted unauthorized log ins

Enable snaps on CentOS and install bitcoin-core

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

after :

sudo snap install bitcoin-core
