# Node Installation

## [EXPLORER](https://explorer.stavr.tech/Lumen-Mainnet/staking)

* **Minimum hardware requirements**:

| Node Type | CPU | RAM  | Storage |
| --------- | --- | ---- | ------- |
| Mainnet   | 8   | 16GB | 250GB   |

## 1) Auto\_install script

```bash
SOOON
```

## 2) Manual installation

#### Preparing the server

```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install curl tar wget clang pkg-config libssl-dev jq build-essential bsdmainutils git make ncdu gcc git jq chrony liblz4-tool -y
```

### GO 1.21.13

```bash
ver="1.21.13"
wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
rm "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
go version
```

## Build 06.01.26

```bash
cd $HOME && git clone https://github.com/network-lumen/validator-kit.git
cd validator-kit

./join.sh <moniker>

$HOME/validator-kit/bin/lumend version
# v1.3.0

cp $HOME//validator-kit/bin/lumend /usr/local/bin/lumend
lumend version
# v1.3.0

journalctl -fu lumend -n100 -ocat
```

`lumend version --long | grep -e commit -e version`

* version: v1.3.0
* commit: 597b549

### Create/recover wallet

```bash
lumend keys add validator --home ~/.lumen --keyring-backend test
           OR
lumend keys add validator --home ~/.lumen --recover --keyring-backend test
```

### Download  Addrbook and Genesis

```python
wget -O $HOME/.lumen/config/addrbook.json "https://server-1.stavr.tech/Mainnet/Lumen/addrbook.json"
wget -O $HOME/.lumen/config/genesis.json "https://server-1.stavr.tech/Mainnet/Lumen/genesis.json"
```

### Set up the minimum gas price and Peers/Seeds/Filter peers/MaxPeers

```bash
external_address=$(wget -qO- eth0.me) 
sed -i.bak -e "s/^external_address *=.*/external_address = \"$external_address:26656\"/" $HOME/.lumen/config/config.toml
peers=""
sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$peers\"/" $HOME/.lumen/config/config.toml
seeds=""
sed -i.bak -e "s/^seeds =.*/seeds = \"$seeds\"/" $HOME/.lumen/config/config.toml
sed -i 's/max_num_inbound_peers =.*/max_num_inbound_peers = 50/g' $HOME/.lumen/config/config.toml
sed -i 's/max_num_outbound_peers =.*/max_num_outbound_peers = 50/g' $HOME/.lumen/config/config.toml
```

## StateSync Lumen Mainnet

```bash
systemctl stop lumend
SNAP_RPC=https://lumen.rpc.m.stavr.tech:443
LATEST_HEIGHT=$(curl -s $SNAP_RPC/block | jq -r .result.block.header.height); \
BLOCK_HEIGHT=$((LATEST_HEIGHT - 1000)); \
TRUST_HASH=$(curl -s "$SNAP_RPC/block?height=$BLOCK_HEIGHT" | jq -r .result.block_id.hash)

echo $LATEST_HEIGHT $BLOCK_HEIGHT $TRUST_HASH
