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/v5.3.8/zenrockd
chmod +x zenrockd
mv $HOME/zenrock/zenrockd $HOME/go/bin/

zenrockd version --long | grep -e version -e commit
# version: 5.3.8
# commit: 8dd87f173727be414d6eb2a113dcf999b7b18958

Initialize the node to create the necessary configuration files

zenrockd init UTSA_guide --chain-id gardia-9

Genesis

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

# check genesis
sha256sum ~/.zrchain/config/genesis.json
# 63e066dac87e6b88f158338e325ad3c352a45e2bc9b96b0b82d3cc35432e4715

Download Addr book

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

Setting up the node configuration

zenrockd config set client chain-id gardia-9
#zenrockd config set client keyring-backend test
