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"

Installing Go​

wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
rm -rf /usr/local/go
tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$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.

  • $AIRCHAINS_NODENAME your validator name
  • $AIRCHAINS_WALLET your wallet name
  • If another node is using the port, you can change it below. You must enter a different value where it says 11, again as two digits.
echo "export AIRCHAINS_NODENAME=$AIRCHAINS_NODENAME"  >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export AIRCHAINS_WALLET=$AIRCHAINS_WALLET" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export AIRCHAINS_PORT=11" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export AIRCHAINS_CHAIN_ID=junction" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Sample​

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

echo "export AIRCHAINS_NODENAME=Anatolian-Guide"  >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export AIRCHAINS_WALLET=Anatolian-Guide" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export AIRCHAINS_PORT=16" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export AIRCHAINS_CHAIN_ID=junction" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Installing Airchains​

cd $HOME
wget -O junctiond https://github.com/airchains-network/junction/releases/download/v0.1.0/junctiond
chmod +x junctiond
mv junctiond $HOME/go/bin/

Configuring and Launching the Node​

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

junctiond config set client chain-id $AIRCHAINS_CHAIN_ID
junctiond config set client keyring-backend test
junctiond init --chain-id $AIRCHAINS_CHAIN_ID $AIRCHAINS_NODENAME

Enabling and Starting the Service​

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable junctiond
systemctl start junctiond

Checking the Logs​

journalctl -u junctiond -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.

junctiond status 2>&1 | jq .sync_info

or

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

Wallet​

Creating a New Wallet​

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

junctiond keys add $AIRCHAINS_WALLET

Importing an Existing Wallet​

junctiond keys add $AIRCHAINS_WALLET --recover

Wallet and Valoper Info​

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

AIRCHAINS_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(junctiond keys show $AIRCHAINS_WALLET -a)
AIRCHAINS_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(junctiond keys show $AIRCHAINS_WALLET --bech val -a)
echo 'export AIRCHAINS_WALLET_ADDRESS='${AIRCHAINS_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export AIRCHAINS_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${AIRCHAINS_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Faucet​

Request tokens by sending your wallet address to the #🚰❘switchyard-faucet-bot on the Discord server.

Checking Wallet Balance​

junctiond query bank balances $AIRCHAINS_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.

Creating the validator.json File​

cd $HOME
echo "{\"pubkey\":{\"@type\":\"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey\",\"key\":\"$(wardend comet show-validator | grep -Po '\"key\":\s*\"\K[^"]*')\"},
    \"amount\": \"1700000amf\",
    \"moniker\": \"$AIRCHAINS_NODENAME\",
    \"commission-rate\": \"0.1\",
    \"commission-max-rate\": \"0.2\",
    \"commission-max-change-rate\": \"0.01\",
    \"min-self-delegation\": \"1\",
    \"details\": \"Always forward with the Anatolian Team 🐆\",
    \"security\": \"xxxxxxx@gmail.com\",
    \"website\": \"https://anatolianteam.com\",
    \"identity\": \"XXXX1111XXXX1111\"
}" > validator.json

Creating Validator Using the json File​

junctiond tx staking create-validator validator.json \
    --from $AIRCHAINS_WALLET \
    --chain-id $AIRCHAINS_CHAIN_ID \
    --fees 200amf \
    --yes
