chmod +x arkeod
mv arkeod $HOME/go/bin/

    Initialize Node

    Please change <MONIKER> To your own Moniker.

    arkeod init $MONIKER --chain-id arkeo
arkeod init config chain-id arkeo
arkeod config keyring-backend test

    Download Genesis file and addrbook

    • Genesis
    curl -s http://seed.arkeo.network:26657/genesis | jq '.result.genesis' > $HOME/.arkeo/config/genesis.json
    • Addrbook
    wget -O $HOME/.arkeo/config/addrbook.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vinjan23/Testnet.Guide/main/Arkeo/addrbook.json

    create service file and start node

    Create service file Create a archwayd.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/arkeod.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=arkeo-testnet
After=network-online.target

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

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
    • Enable Service and Start Node
    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
