# Node Installation

Source Testnet guide

## [EXPLORER](https://explorer.stavr.tech/Source)

* **Minimum hardware requirements**:

| Node Type | CPU | RAM | Storage |
| --------- | --- | --- | ------- |
| Testnet   | 4   | 8GB | 150GB   |

## 1) Auto\_install script

```bash
source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/111STAVR111/props/refs/heads/main/Source/Testnet/sources)
```

## 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 1.21.6

```bash
ver="1.21.6"
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 01.08.24

```bash
cd $HOME && mkdir $HOME/go/bin/
git clone https://github.com/Source-Protocol-Cosmos/source.git
cd ~/source
git checkout v.3.0.2
make install
```

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

* version: v.3.0.2
* commit: 0e81b8429ce96e63d2c7215bfdf26d216874a986

## Initiation

```python
sourced init STAVR_guide --chain-id=sourcetest-1
sourced config chain-id sourcetest-1
```

### Create/recover wallet

```bash
sourced keys add <walletname>
           OR
sourced keys add <walletname> --recover
```

### Download Addrbook and Genesis

```d
wget -O $HOME/.source/config/addrbook.json "https://server-1.stavr.tech/Testnet/Source/addrbook.json"
wget -O $HOME/.source/config/genesis.json "https://server-1.stavr.tech/Testnet/Source/genesis.json"

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

```bash
sed -i.bak -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.25usource\"/;" ~/.source/config/app.toml
external_address=$(wget -qO- eth0.me) 
sed -i.bak -e "s/^external_address *=.*/external_address = \"$external_address:26656\"/" $HOME/.source/config/config.toml
peers=""
sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$peers\"/" $HOME/.source/config/config.toml
seeds=""
sed -i.bak -e "s/^seeds =.*/seeds = \"$seeds\"/" $HOME/.source/config/config.toml
sed -i 's/max_num_inbound_peers =.*/max_num_inbound_peers = 50/g' $HOME/.source/config/config.toml
sed -i 's/max_num_outbound_peers =.*/max_num_outbound_peers = 50/g' $HOME/.source/config/config.toml
```

#### Pruning (optional)

```bash
pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="1000"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="100"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.source/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.source/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.source/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.source/config/app.toml
```

#### Indexer (optional)

```bash
indexer="null" &&
sed -i -e "s/^indexer *=.*/indexer = \"$indexer\"/" $HOME/.source/config/config.toml
```

## Create a service file

```bash
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/sourced.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=source test
After=network-online.target

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

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
```

## StateSync Source Testnet

```bash
systemctl stop sourced
SNAP_RPC=https://source.rpc.t.stavr.tech:443
LATEST_HEIGHT=$(curl -s $SNAP_RPC/block | jq -r .result.block.header.height); \
BLOCK_HEIGHT=$((LATEST_HEIGHT - 1000)); \
