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

git clone https://github.com/atomone-hub/atomone && cd atomone
git checkout v3.0.1
make install

atomoned version --long | grep -e version -e commit
# version: v3.0.1
# commit: f36cf924f50d7d5c3890b3991c7185e5d41c3ca1

We initialize the node to create the necessary configuration files

atomoned init UTSA_guide --chain-id atomone-testnet-1

Download Genesis

wget -O $HOME/.atomone/config/genesis.json "https://atomone.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/atomone-testnet-1/genesis.json"

sha256sum ~/.atomone/config/genesis.json
# 5bd5d327fd294d8e9653ab97f28703df7d7e59d84238249bdd8dc7ed33408100

At this stage, we can download the address book

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

Set up node configuration

minimum-gas-prices = "0.025uatone,0.025uphoton"

(OPTIONAL) Set up pruning

(OPTIONAL) Set up indexer

indexer="null" && \

(OPTIONAL) Enable/Disable Snapshots

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

Create a service file

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

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which atomoned) start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable atomoned
systemctl restart atomoned && journalctl -u atomoned -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
