# version: v1.0.0-prerelease
# commit: 51e568dd1cff1af6249fa3b4806ccd5573249ae2
We initialize the node to create the necessary configuration files
arkeod init UTSA_guide --chain-id arkeo-testnet-3
Download Genesis
curl -s http://seed31.innovationtheory.com:26657/genesis | jq '.result.genesis' > $HOME/.arkeo/config/genesis.json

At this stage, we can download the address book
wget -O $HOME/.arkeo/config/addrbook.json "https://share101.utsa.tech/arkeo/addrbook.json"
Set up node configuration
