Step-by-Step Software Update and Troubleshooting Guide

Step 1: Update Your Software Download the latest software update specific to your device type:

Ensure your Algorand Proof of Connectivity (PoC) account has at least 1-2 ALGO to cover technical network fees.


Step 2: Remove Previous Software

  • Run the fryuninstaller provided in the downloaded zip file.

  • Manually remove leftover files:

    • Navigate to:

      • C:\Program Files

      • C:\Program Files (x86)

    • Delete folders named Fry or SoftEther.

    • Go to:

      • C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents

    • Delete any folder named FRY.

  • Remove leftover firewall configurations:

    • Open Windows Defender Firewall:

      • Control Panel → System and Security → Windows Defender Firewall → Advanced Settings → Inbound Rules

    • Delete rules labeled Fry VPN and SoftEther.


Step 3: Reinstall Software

  • Run the fryinstaller after completing the previous cleanup.

  • If errors occur:

    • Run fryuninstaller again.

    • Re-run fryinstaller.


Step 4: Node.js Update

  • If issues continue:

    • Uninstall the existing Node.js version.

    • Download and install Node.js version 18.20 from the official Node.js Downloads page.

    • Re-run the previously downloaded fryinstaller (Step 1).


Step 5: Verify Proof of Connectivity (PoC)

  • Navigate to the directory: Documents/Fry/.../JavaScript/Connectivity Validation/

  • Double-click and run POC.BAT.

  • Verify network functionality:

    • Check your Algorand account activity. Look for transactions labeled as 0.0 FRY.

    • Appearance of these transactions confirms successful connectivity validation.


Step 6: PoC Troubleshooting If no transactions appear and you've confirmed:

  • Your account has sufficient ALGO balance.

  • You've opted into the FRY token correctly.

Follow these steps:

  • Go to: Documents/Fry/.../JavaScript/Connectivity Validation

  • Right-click and open config.json with Notepad.

  • Check your Algorand account phrase carefully:

    • Confirm exactly ONE space between words.

    • Remove extra characters (commas, periods, symbols).
