If your server is ARM, use the following code.

ver="1.22.2"
wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$ver.linux-arm64.tar.gz"
rm -rf /usr/local/go
tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$ver.linux-arm64.tar.gz"

Setting Variables​

The areas you need to change are written below.

  • $INITIA_NODENAME your validator name
  • $INITIA_WALLET your wallet name
  • If another node is using the port, you can change it below. You must enter a different value where it says 11, again as two digits.
echo "export INITIA_NODENAME=$INITIA_NODENAME"  >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export INITIA_WALLET=$INITIA_WALLET" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export INITIA_PORT=11" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export INITIA_CHAIN_ID=initiation-1" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Sample​

Let's assume that your Node (INITIA_NODENAME) and Wallet (INITIA_WALLET) name is Anatolian-Guide and the port you will use (INITIA_PORT) will be 16656. The code will be arranged as shown below.

echo 'export INITIA_NODENAME="Anatolian-Guide"' >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export INITIA_WALLET=Anatolian-Guide" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export INITIA_PORT=16" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export INITIA_CHAIN_ID=initiation-1" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Installing Initia​

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/initia-labs/initia.git
cd initia
git checkout v0.2.15
make install

Configuring and Launching the Node​

We copy and paste the codes below without making any changes.

initiad config set client chain-id $INITIA_CHAIN_ID
initiad config set client keyring-backend test
initiad init --chain-id $INITIA_CHAIN_ID $INITIA_NODENAME

Enabling and Starting the Service​

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable initiad
systemctl start initiad

Checking the Logs​

journalctl -u initiad -f -o cat
warning

AFTER THIS STAGE, WE EXPECT OUR NODE TO SYNC.

Checking Synchronization​

Unless we get a false output, we do not move on to the next step, namely creating a validator.

initiad status 2>&1 | jq .sync_info

or

initiad status 2>&1 | jq -r .sync_info.catching_up

Wallet​

Creating a New Wallet​

We do not change the $INITIA_WALLET section, we named our wallet with variables at the beginning of the installation.

initiad keys add $INITIA_WALLET

Importing an Existing Wallet​

initiad keys add $INITIA_WALLET --recover

Wallet and Valoper Info​

Here we add our wallet and valve information to the variable.

INITIA_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(initiad keys show $INITIA_WALLET -a)
INITIA_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(initiad keys show $INITIA_WALLET --bech val -a)
echo 'export INITIA_WALLET_ADDRESS='${INITIA_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export INITIA_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${INITIA_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Faucet​

https://faucet.testnet.initia.xyz

Checking Wallet Balance​

initiad query bank balances $INITIA_WALLET_ADDRESS
warning

If the synchronization is completed, we proceed to the following step.

Creating Validator​

You do not need to make any changes to the following command other than the places specified below;

  • identity where it says XXXX1111XXXX1111 you write your identification number given to you as a member of the keybase site.
  • details You can write information about yourself where it says Always forward with the Anatolian Team 🐆.
  • website where it says https://anatolianteam.com, if you have a website or twitter etc. You can write your address.
  • security-contact Your email address.
