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

3. Install `emped` Binary

mkdir -p $HOME/go/bin
curl -LO https://github.com/empe-io/empe-chain-releases/raw/master/v0.3.0/emped_v0.3.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvf emped_v0.3.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
rm emped_v0.3.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
chmod +x emped
mv emped $HOME/go/bin/

4. Initialize Node

emped init YOUR_NODE_NAME --chain-id empe-testnet-2

5. Download Genesis and Addrbook

wget -O $HOME/.empe-chain/config/genesis.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/empe-io/empe-chains/refs/heads/master/testnet-2/genesis.json"

6. Download Addrbook

wget -O $HOME/.empe-chain/config/addrbook.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/111STAVR111/props/main/Empeiria/addrbook.json"

7. Create Systemd Service

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/emped.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=emped
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$HOME/go/bin/emped start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

8. Start Node

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable emped
sudo systemctl start emped

9. Download Snapshot

sudo systemctl stop emped
rm -rf $HOME/.empe-chain/data
curl -o - -L https://empe.snapshot-t.stavr.tech/emper-snap.tar.lz4 | lz4 -c -d - | tar -x -C $HOME/.empe-chain
sudo systemctl restart emped

10. Check status syncron

emped status 2>&1 | jq

if status False Next Steps

11. (Optional) Create Validator

emped tx staking create-validator \
--amount 1000000uempe \
--commission-rate 0.1 \
--commission-max-rate 0.5 \
--commission-max-change-rate 0.2 \
--min-self-delegation 1 \
--pubkey $(emped tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker "YOUR_VALIDATOR_NAME" \
--chain-id empe-testnet-2 \
--from YOUR_WALLET_NAME -y

12. Monitor logs:

journalctl -fu emped -o cat
