echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
go version

    Install binary

    curl -LO https://github.com/defi-ventures/blockx-node-public-compiled/releases/download/v10.0.0/blockxd
chmod +x blockxd
sudo mv ./blockxd /usr/local/bin

    Initialize Node

    Please change <MONIKER> To your own Moniker.

    blockxd init $MONIKER --chain-id blockx_50-1
blockxd config chain-id blockx_50-1
blockxd config keyring-backend test

    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 node
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which blockxd) start --home $HOME/.blockxd
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
