sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
rm "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
go version

Install binary

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/BlockXLabs/BlockX-Genesis-Mainnet1.git
cd BlockX-Genesis-Mainnet1
make install

Initialize Node

Please change <MONIKER> To your own Moniker.

blockxd init $MONIKER --chain-id blockx_100-1
blockxd config chain-id blockx_100-1
blockxd config keyring-backend file

Download Genesis file and addrbook

Genesis

wget -O $HOME/.blockxd/config/genesis.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BlockXLabs/networks/master/chains/blockx_100-1/genesis.json"

Addrbook

wget -O $HOME/.blockxd/config/addrbook.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinjan23/Mainnet/main/Blockx/addrbook.json"

create service file and start node

Create service file Create a blockxd.service file in the /etc/systemd/system folder with the following code. You can change USER with your Linux user name. You need sudo previlege to do this step.

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

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which blockxd) start
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

Enable Service and Start Node

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable blockxd
systemctl restart blockxd
journalctl -fu blockxd -ocat
