Node installation
git clone https://github.com/noislabs/noisd && cd noisd
git checkout v1.0.4
make install
noisd version --long | grep -e version -e commit -e build
# version: 1.0.4
# commit: 1d5905dbbe6fcf757026abe8110786fd9746c1ec
# build_tags: netgo,ledger
We initialize the node to create the necessary configuration files
noisd init UTSA_guide --chain-id nois-testnet-005
Download Genesis
wget -O $HOME/.noisd/config/genesis.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/noislabs/networks/main/nois-testnet-005/genesis.json"
