Im setting up an exchange and came to the installation of ethereum using this document http://support.bitexchange.systems/support/articles/how-to-install-ethereum-in-your-server.
The 'geth' command for install and synch of eth node runs for eternity. I heard infura does the trick faster but how am I supposed to do this?
The concept of Infura is to host highly available Ethereum nodes for endusers and offer a remote access to Ethereum (via JSON-RPC). So you don't need to install anything, it's more or less like a third-party API you would use from your application.
The endpoint is https://<network>.infura.io/<version>/<api_key>
Examples:
https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/<api_key> https://ropsten.infura.io/v3/<api_key> https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/<api_key> You only need to sign up on infura.io to obtain an API key.
infura is a infrastructure as a service. infura just gives you the api to connect or interact with the ethereum infrastructure. There is no way to install infura on the server
