# Download database (recommended)
For new servers, it is recommended that you download the database after installing TOPIO, which can reduce the time of data synchronization and start getting rewards early.
Run the following command in the SSH terminal:
topio db download https://top-mainnet-space.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/db_20211231_v3_1ab9d50b07e651544a607161e6485955.tar.gz

download database ok.
md5sum check ok.
# 3. Configure Environment Variables (optional)
After TOPIO is installed, configure environment variables with the following command, to set "/opt/topnetwork" to your authority directory.
echo "export TOPIO_HOME=/opt/topnetwork" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
If you do not configure environment variables, you will use the system default directory as the working directory of TOPIO:
root user: the default directory is "/root/topnetwork";
For non-root users: the default directory is "/home/user/topnetwork", where "user" is your user name to log in to the server.
