# Node Installation

## Namada Installation for Pilot

## Minimum System Requirements

* Validator 16GB 1TB\* 4 Core
* Full Node 8GB 1TB 2 Core
* Light Node TBD TBD TBD

For this node im using Hetzner AX-41 NVME Dedicated Server

## Installation

### Install Rust

```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
```

### Update Depencies

```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install make clang pkg-config libssl-dev build-essential git jq llvm libudev-dev protobuf-compiler
```

### Install CometBFT

```bash
curl -sL https://github.com/cometbft/cometbft/releases/download/v0.37.2/cometbft_0.37.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz | tar -C /usr/local/bin -xzf- cometbft
```

### Setup Variable

```bash
CHAIN_ID="shielded-expedition.88f17d1d14"
KEY_NAME="wallet"
VAL_NAME="<YOUR VALIDATOR NAME HERE>"
EMAIL="<YOUR EMAIL HERE>"
```

Don't change the CHAIN\_ID!!

### Add Variable to the machine

```bash
echo 'export CHAIN_ID='\"${CHAIN_ID}\" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export KEY_NAME='\"${KEY_NAME}\" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export VAL_NAME='\"${VAL_NAME}\" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export EMAIL='\"${EMAIL}\" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
```

### Download Pre-built Namada Binary

```bash
wget https://github.com/anoma/namada/releases/download/v0.31.4/namada-v0.31.4-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xf namada-*.tar.gz
sudo mv namada-v0.31.4-Linux-x86_64/namada* /usr/local/bin/
rm -rf namada*
```

### Init Chain

```bash
namada client utils join-network --chain-id $CHAIN_ID
```

### Add Service File

```bash
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/namadad.service << EOF
[Unit]
Description=Namada Node
After=network.target
[Service]
User=$USER
WorkingDirectory=$HOME/.local/share/namada
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/namada --base-dir=$HOME/.local/share/namada node ledger run
Environment=NAMADA_CMT_STDOUT=true
Environment=TM_LOG_LEVEL=p2p:none,pex:error
RemainAfterExit=no
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10s
LimitNOFILE=65535
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
```

### Enable Namada Service

```bash
sudo systemctl enable namadad.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart namadad.service
```

#### Check Namada Logs

```bash
sudo journalctl -u namadad.service 
```

#### Check Sync Status

```bash
curl -s localhost:26657/status | jq .result.sync_info.catching_up
```

If the result is `false` then your node already synced.

Note : that Syncing proccess usually takes some times, be patient.

### Next Step

After your node is synced Create the wallet

#### Generate New Key

```bash
namadaw gen --alias "${KEY_NAME}"
```

#### Recover Existing key

```bash
namadaw derive --alias "${KEY_NAME}"
```

#### Check Alias Address

```bash
namadaw find --alias "${KEY_NAME}"
```

#### List Keys

```bash
namadaw  list
```

#### Check Balance

```bash
namadac balance --owner "${KEY_NAME}"
```

After you create or import your wallet next step is to Init your validator

#### Init Validator

```bash
namadac  init-validator \
 --alias "${VAL_NAME}" \
 --account-keys "${KEY_NAME}" \
 --signing-keys "${KEY_NAME}" \
 --commission-rate 0.1 \
 --max-commission-rate-change 0.1 \
 --email "${EMAIL}"
```

If the transaction is success , wait for 2 Epoch!

1 Epoch = 10 Hours

After 2 Epoch restart your node

#### Restart Node after 2 Epoch

```bash
sudo systemctl restart namadad.service
```

### Bond Token Validator

```bash
namadac  bond \
 --source "${KEY_NAME}" \
 --validator "${VAL_NAME}" \
 --amount 1000
```

You can Change the `--amount` to whatever your have in your balance

Done.
