1. Download the Monero CLI version 0.14.1.2 (it is important to use this version or later). Download links as usual are here: https://web.getmonero.org/downloads/ Important: do NOT use the GUI version, because that release is currently only version 0.14.1.0
2. Download and unzip the latest (non-GUI) version of I2P-zero here: https://github.com/i2p-zero/i2p-zero/releases
3. Run I2P-zero by entering the i2p-zero unzipped directory and typing: `router/bin/launch.sh`

7. You now need to keep a backup of your private keys to your I2P address on another computer for safekeeping. Do this by taking a backup of the `~/.i2p-zero/config/tunnels.json` file
8. Run monerod by typing the following, replacing `XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.b32.i2p` with your own I2P address that was printed from step 5: `monerod --proxy i2p,127.0.0.1:8060 --add-peer dsc7fyzzultm7y6pmx2avu6tze3usc7d27nkbzs5qwuujplxcmzq.b32.i2p --anonymous-inbound XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.b32.i2p,127.0.0.1:8061 --prune-blockchain --detach`

## What this all about:
Monero now has I2P support. Soon, the GUI will make it easy for anyone to enable I2P.
When people run monerod with I2P enabled, they will need to connect to a "mipseed" to discover all of the I2P addresses where other people are running I2P-enabled monero nodes.
A "mipseed", which is short for "monero I2P seed", is simply a computer running a monerod instance that is accessible via I2P.
Your mipseed will only be there to inform others of I2P addresses it knows about, and to share new transaction announcements via I2P.
Because you will be running your mipseed behind I2P, disclosing your I2P address will not disclose to anyone your identity, your IP address or even your country.
