Bitcanna Node Installation Guide
Chain ID: bitcanna-1
Install Go and Cosmovisor
Feel free to skip this step if you already have Go and Cosmovisor.
Install Go
We will use Go v1.21.1
as example here. The code below also cleanly removes any previous Go installation.
sudo rm -rvf /usr/local/go/
wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.21.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.21.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
rm go1.21.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
Configure Go
Unless you want to configure in a non-standard way, then set these in the ~/.profile
file.
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GO111MODULE=on
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin
Install Cosmovisor
We will use Cosmovisor v1.0.0
as example here.
go install github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/cosmovisor/cmd/[email protected]
Install Node
Install the current version of node binary.
git clone https://github.com/BitCannaGlobal/bcna bitcanna
cd bitcanna
git checkout v2.0.3
make install
Configure Node
Initialize Node
Please replace YOUR_MONIKER
with your own moniker.
bcnad init YOUR_MONIKER --chain-id bitcanna-1
Download Genesis
The genesis file link below is Polkachu's mirror download. The best practice is to find the official genesis download link.
wget -O genesis.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BitCannaGlobal/bcna/main/genesis.json --inet4-only
mv genesis.json ~/.bcna/config
Configure Seed
Using a seed node to bootstrap is the best practice in our view.
sed -i 's/seeds = ""/seeds = "[email protected]:13056"/' ~/.bcna/config/config.toml
Launch Node
Configure Cosmovisor Folder
Create Cosmovisor folders and load the node binary.
# Create Cosmovisor Folders
mkdir -p ~/.bcna/cosmovisor/genesis/bin
mkdir -p ~/.bcna/cosmovisor/upgrades
# Load Node Binary into Cosmovisor Folder
cp ~/go/bin/bcnad ~/.bcna/cosmovisor/genesis/bin
Create Service File
Create a bitcanna.service
file in the /etc/systemd/system
folder with the following code snippet. Make sure to replace USER
with your Linux user name. You need sudo previlege to do this step.
