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`
4. Create a socks tunnel for outgoing I2P connections by typing: `router/bin/tunnel-control.sh socks.create 8060`
5. Create a server tunnel for incoming I2P connections by typing: `router/bin/tunnel-control.sh server.create.vanity 127.0.0.1 8061 none xyz` replacing `xyz` with a 3 alphanumeric character vanity prefix for your public b32.i2p address. This command will take a few minutes to complete, depending on how fast your CPU is. If you do not want a vanity prefix, use the command: `router/bin/tunnel-control.sh server.create 127.0.0.1 8061`
6. The command above will result in an I2P address being printed to the command line, which will end with `.b32.i2p`. This is your new I2P address.
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`
9. (optional) Use software such as wondershaper for Linux to limit bandwidth usage. See this: https://www.ostechnix.com/how-to-limit-network-bandwidth-in-linux-using-wondershaper/
4. (optional) Find out your randomly assigned I2P port by typing: `router/bin/tunnel-control.sh router.externalPort`. For privacy reasons, do not disclose this port number to other people. Tell your firewall to forward traffic through to this port so that your I2P node is publicly reachable. If you have no ability to allow incoming connections, everything will still work, but your I2P node will not be helping the I2P network as much as it could.
5. Create a socks tunnel for outgoing I2P connections by typing: `router/bin/tunnel-control.sh socks.create 8060`
6. Create a server tunnel for incoming I2P connections by typing: `router/bin/tunnel-control.sh server.create.vanity 127.0.0.1 8061 none xyz` replacing `xyz` with a 3 alphanumeric character vanity prefix for your public b32.i2p address. This command will take a few minutes to complete, depending on how fast your CPU is. If you do not want a vanity prefix, use the command: `router/bin/tunnel-control.sh server.create 127.0.0.1 8061`

10. (optional) Use software such as wondershaper for Linux to limit bandwidth usage. See this: https://www.ostechnix.com/how-to-limit-network-bandwidth-in-linux-using-wondershaper/
That's it! Do not replace the dsc****.b32.i2p address with yours, only replace the XXXXXXX.b32.i2p one. You are now running a mipseed, which will itself be seeded by dsc_'s mipseed.
