Setting Variables
The areas you need to change are written below.
$LAVA_NODENAME
your validator name$LAVA_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 LAVA_NODENAME=$LAVA_NODENAME" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export LAVA_WALLET=$LAVA_WALLET" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export LAVA_PORT=11" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export LAVA_CHAIN_ID=lava-testnet-2" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
Sample
Let's assume that your Node (LAVA_NODENAME
) and Wallet (LAVA_WALLET
) name is Anatolian-Guide
and the port you will use (LAVA_PORT
) will be 16656
. The code will be arranged as shown below.
echo "export LAVA_NODENAME=Anatolian-Guide" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export LAVA_WALLET=Anatolian-Guide" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export LAVA_PORT=16" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export LAVA_CHAIN_ID=lava-testnet-2" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
Installing Lava
cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/lavanet/lava
cd lava
git checkout v1.0.1
install
The version output will be v1.0.1
.
Configuring and Launching the Node
We copy and paste the codes below without making any changes.

Enabling and Starting the Service
systemctl daemon-reload

Checking the Logs
journalctl -u lavad -f -o cat
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.
lavad status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo
Wallet
Creating a New Wallet
We do not change the $LAVA_WALLET
section, we named our wallet with variables at the beginning of the installation.
lavad keys add $LAVA_WALLET
Importing an Existing Wallet
lavad keys add $LAVA_WALLET --recover
Wallet and Valoper Info
Here we add our wallet and valve information to the variable.
LAVA_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(lavad keys show $LAVA_WALLET -a)
LAVA_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(lavad keys show $LAVA_WALLET --bech val -a)
echo 'export LAVA_WALLET_ADDRESS='${LAVA_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export LAVA_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${LAVA_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
Faucet
Request tokens by sending a message to the #🚰┃faucet
channel on the Discord server as follows.
$request Lava-Address
Checking Wallet Balance
lavad query bank balances $LAVA_WALLET_ADDRESS
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 saysXXXX1111XXXX1111
you write your identification number given to you as a member of the keybase site.details
You can write information about yourself where it saysAlways forward with the Anatolian Team 🚀
.website
where it sayshttps://anatolianteam.com
, if you have a website or twitter etc. You can write your address.security-contact
Your email address.
