Node installation

Currently, to run a node, you need to run two separate clients:

  • zenrockd, consensus client

  • zenrock-sidecar, oracle

# if necessary, create the go/bin/ directory
mkdir -p $HOME/go/bin/
cd $HOME
mkdir -p zenrock && cd zenrock

Install zenrock

cd $HOME/zenrock
wget https://github.com/Zenrock-Foundation/zrchain/releases/download/v5.5.0/zenrockd

chmod +x zenrockd
mv $HOME/zenrock/zenrockd $HOME/go/bin/

zenrockd version --long | grep -e version -e commit
# version: 5.5.0
# commit: 1c5e92e50435c334cf814377254367392a4dfda5

Initialize the node to create the necessary configuration files

zenrockd init UTSA_guide --chain-id diamond-1

Genesis

curl -s https://rpc.diamond.zenrocklabs.io/genesis | jq .result.genesis > $HOME/.zrchain/config/genesis.json

# ΠŸΡ€ΠΎΠ²Π΅Ρ€ΠΈΠΌ genesis
sha256sum ~/.zrchain/config/genesis.json

Download Addr book

wget -O $HOME/.zrchain/config/addrbook.json "https://share106-7.utsa.tech/zenrock/addrbook.json"
