BITSONG NODE INSTALL

It is assumed that you have already upgraded your host and secured your ssh access and all ports.

We’re going to install the pre-requisites, then we’ll install and configure Go and finally we’ll install Go-Bitsong, configure it and run it from our snapshot.

Install pre-requisites

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git build-essential ufw curl jq lz4 --yes

rm go1.20.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
cat <> ~/.profile

Download Genesis, Addrbook, Snapshot and extract it
rm $HOME/.bitsongd/config/genesis.json
wget https://snapshot.safeblock.space/bitsong/genesis.json -P $HOME/.bitsongd/config
wget https://snapshot.safeblock.space/bitsong/addrbook.json -P $HOME/.bitsongd/config
wget https://snapshot.safeblock.space/bitsong/bitsong-snapshot_03-12-2023.tar.lz4

rm bitsong-snapshot_03-12-2023.tar.lz4
Create Bitsong Service

# CHANGE $USER with your “username”
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/bitsongd.service > /dev/null << EOF

EOF

Start Bitsong Service

Enable bitsong in background:
sudo systemctl enable bitsongd

Start bitsong in background:
sudo systemctl start bitsongd

Check Bitsong Service

sudo journalctl -fu bitsongd -o cat
# Ctrl+C to exit

sudo journalctl -fu bitsongd -o cat | grep index
# Ctrl+C to exit

curl -s http://0.0.0.0:26657/status | jq -r .result.sync_info.catching_up

If response is “true”, you not are synched, wait….
