Install GO

ver="1.21.3" && \
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" && \

Node installation

mkdir -p $HOME/go/bin

wget https://github.com/airchains-network/junction/releases/download/v0.1.0/junctiond
chmod +x junctiond
mv junctiond $HOME/go/bin/

junctiond version --long | grep -e version -e commit
# version: 
# commit: aab9725fd6fb760a3477229f08394fccbd1e2bbe

We initialize the node to create the necessary configuration files

junctiond init UTSA_guide --chain-id junction

Download Genesis

wget -O $HOME/.junction/config/genesis.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/111STAVR111/props/main/Airchains/genesis.json"

sha256sum ~/.junction/config/genesis.json

At this stage, we can download the address book

wget -O $HOME/.junction/config/addrbook.json "https://share102.utsa.tech/airchains/addrbook.json"

Set up node configuration

Create a service file

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

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable junctiond
systemctl restart junctiond && journalctl -u junctiond -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
