This setup is distor independent. All you need is cron to start the blockchain and the name resolver.
download namecoin and ncdns binaries for your linux distros:
* [https://github.com/namecoin/ncdns/releases/latest](https://github.com/namecoin/ncdns/releases/download/v0.0.8/ncdns-v0.0.8-linux_amd64.tar.gz)
* [https://namecoin.org/download/](https://www.namecoin.org/files/namecoin-core-0.16.3/namecoin-0.16.3-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz)
extract namecoin to /opt/namecoin
extract ncdns to /opt/ncdns
create new user e.g. <name> ( useradd name )
mkdir /var/lib/namecoin
chown name /var/lib/namecoin
crontab -e
```
@reboot sudo -u <name> /opt/namecoin/bin/namecoind -datadir=/var/lib/namecoin -rpccookiefile=/var/lib/namecoin/rpc.cookie &
@reboot sleep 20s; /opt/ncdns/bin/ncdns -service.uid $(id -u <name>) -ncdns.namecoinrpccookiepath /var/lib/namecoin/rpc.cookie &
```
Thats it, just reboot or exec it manualy!
