wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
rm "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
go version

Node installation

curl -s https://get.nibiru.fi/@v1.5.0! | bash
mv /usr/local/bin/nibid $HOME/go/bin

nibid version --long | grep -e version -e commit
# version: 1.5.0
# commit: a5279d1c3e2a907d21f7840d86c0dd49c747029f

We initialize the node to create the necessary configuration files

nibid init UTSA_guide --chain-id cataclysm-1

Download Genesis

wget -O $HOME/.nibid/config/genesis.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NibiruChain/Networks/main/Mainnet/cataclysm-1/genesis.json"

sha256sum ~/.nibid/config/genesis.json

At this stage, we can download the address book

wget -O $HOME/.nibid/config/addrbook.json "https://share.utsa.tech/nibiru/addrbook.json"

Set up node configuration

nibid config chain-id cataclysm-1 
nibid config keyring-backend os

sed -i.bak -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.025unibi\"/;" ~/.nibid/config/app.toml
external_address=$(wget -qO- eth0.me)
sed -i.bak -e "s/^external_address *=.*/external_address = \"$external_address:26656\"/" $HOME/.nibid/config/config.toml

(OPTIONAL) Set up pruning

pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="1000"
pruning_interval="10"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.nibid/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.nibid/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.nibid/config/app.toml

(OPTIONAL) Set up indexer

indexer="null"
sed -i -e "s/^indexer *=.*/indexer = \"$indexer\"/" $HOME/.nibid/config/config.toml

(OPTIONAL) Enable/Disable Snapshots

snapshot_interval=1000
sed -i.bak -e "s/^snapshot-interval *=.*/snapshot-interval = \"$snapshot_interval\"/" ~/.nibid/config/app.toml

Create a service file

tee /etc/systemd/system/nibid.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=nibid
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which nibid) start
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable nibid
systemctl restart nibid && journalctl -u nibid -f -o cat

If peers do not cling for a long time or you see errors error: wrong Block.Header.AppHash, you need to use State sync or boot from a Snapshot
