Installation

Updating the System​

apt update && apt upgrade -y

Installing the Necessary Libraries​

apt install make clang pkg-config libssl-dev libclang-dev build-essential git curl ntp jq llvm tmux htop screen gcc lz4 -y < "/dev/null"

rm -rf /usr/local/go
tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
rm -rf "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
echo 'export GOROOT=/usr/local/go' >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/go' >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export GO111MODULE=on' >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin' >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
go version

Setting Variables​

The areas you need to change are written below.

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

Sample​

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

echo "export SELF_NODENAME=Anatolian-Guide"  >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export SELF_WALLET=Anatolian-Guide" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export SELF_PORT=16" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export SELF_CHAIN_ID=self-dev-1" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Installing Self Chain​

cd $HOME
mkdir -p $HOME/go/bin/
wget https://anatolianteam.com/selfchaind
chmod +x selfchaind
mv selfchaind $HOME/go/bin/

Configuring and Launching the Node​

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

selfchaind config keyring-backend test
selfchaind config chain-id $SELF_CHAIN_ID
selfchaind init --chain-id $SELF_CHAIN_ID $SELF_NODENAME

Enabling and Starting the Service​

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable selfchaind
systemctl start selfchaind

Checking the Logs​

journalctl -u selfchaind -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.

selfchaind status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo

Wallet​

Creating a New Wallet​

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

selfchaind keys add $SELF_WALLET

Importing an Existing Wallet​

selfchaind keys add $SELF_WALLET --recover

Wallet and Valoper Info​

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

SELF_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(selfchaind keys show $SELF_WALLET -a)
SELF_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(selfchaind keys show $SELF_WALLET --bech val -a)
echo 'export SELF_WALLET_ADDRESS='${SELF_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export SELF_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${SELF_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Checking Wallet Balance​

selfchaind query bank balances $SELF_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.
