Node installation

export PIO_HOME=~/.provenanced
git clone https://github.com/provenance-io/provenance.git && cd provenance
git checkout tags/v1.27.0 -b v1.27.0
make golangci-lint
make clean
make install
provenanced version --long | grep -e version -e commit
# v1.27.0
# commit: 8aafd39d

We initialize the node to create the necessary configuration files

provenanced init UTSA_guide --chain-id pio-mainnet-1

Download Genesis

wget -O $HOME/.provenanced/config/genesis.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/provenance-io/mainnet/main/pio-mainnet-1/genesis.json"
