🔢OLD - Node step by step installation

This is a step by step process alternative to the node auto-installer script. Always refer to the node auto-installer steps for any other info or assistance.

(...) following up from step 2 of the main guide.

Simply run the commands one after the other by copy/pasting. When several commands are grouped, you can safely copy and paste all of them at the same time, and they will be executed sequentially.

Update the package lists to ensure the latest versions are available.

sudo apt -q update

Install necessary packages: git, wget, tmux, and tar.

sudo apt-get install git wget tmux tar -y

Download and extract the required version of Go

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.20.14.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.20.14.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo rm go1.20.14.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Update PATH and GOPATH environment variables in ~/.bashrc.

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/go' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export GO111MODULE=on' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export GOPROXY=https://goproxy.cn,direct' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Create and configure swap space for weak server - optional (not needed if you are running on Docker)

sudo mkdir /swap && sudo fallocate -l 24G /swap/swapfile && sudo chmod 600 /swap/swapfile
sudo mkswap /swap/swapfile && sudo swapon /swap/swapfile
sudo bash -c 'echo "/swap/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab'

Modify network buffer sizes for better performance (likely won't work if you are running on Docker)

sudo bash -c 'echo -e "\nnet.core.rmem_max=600000000" >> /etc/sysctl.conf'
sudo bash -c 'echo -e "\nnet.core.wmem_max=600000000" >> /etc/sysctl.conf'
sudo sysctl -p

Create some useful folders

mkdir -p /root/backup/ /root/scripts/ /root/scripts/log/

Create /root/scripts/qnode_restart.sh (simple script to start the node and restart it automatically if it stops)

sudo wget -O /root/scripts/qnode_restart.sh -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lamat1111/quilibrium-node-auto-installer/master/qnode_restart && sudo chmod +x /root/scripts/qnode_restart.sh

Clone the ceremony client from GitHub (after 1.4.17 this step may change, ask in the Telegram group)

cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/QuilibriumNetwork/ceremonyclient.git

Build the Quilibrium client (for transferring tokens)

cd ~/ceremonyclient/client && GOEXPERIMENT=arenas go build -o qclient main.go

Reboot your server (not needed on Docker)

sudo reboot
