It's actually on my list to create an updated version of this one which shows users how to do it the 'manual' way. @someguy123 also creates a 'witness in a box' guide, which is basically a tool that he created to more or less install and configure one for you. You could chat with him on steemit.chat to get his latest guide, or wait for a week or two for mine :)

Thanks Tim. No worries. I'll wait for your new guide. I had already installed everything and also the blockchain was downloaded and running, but I was getting errors and nobody got back to me on how to solve the issue. Please keep me noted, highly appreciated.
