  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"
fi

[ -d "$HOME/go/bin" ] || mkdir -p "$HOME/go/bin"
if ! grep -q "/usr/local/go/bin" "$HOME/.bash_profile" 2>/dev/null; then
  echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin' >> "$HOME/.bash_profile"
fi
source "$HOME/.bash_profile" 2>/dev/null || true
go version

Install node

cd "$HOME"
REPO_DIR=$(basename <git_repo> .git)
rm -rf "$REPO_DIR"
git clone <git_repo>
cd "$REPO_DIR"
VERSION="<recommended_version>"
git checkout "tags/$VERSION"
make build
make install
<daemon_name> version

Initialize Node

Replace <node_name> with your moniker.

<daemon_name> init <node_name> --chain-id "xrplevm_1449000-1"

Download genesis.json

curl -Ls <genesis_url> > "$HOME/.<chain_name>/config/genesis.json"

Download addrbook.json

curl -Ls <addrbookUrl> > "$HOME/.<chain_name>/config/addrbook.json"

Create systemd service

NODE_USER=$(whoami)
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/<daemon_name>.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=<daemon_name> daemon
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=${NODE_USER}
ExecStart=$(which <daemon_name>) start
Restart=always
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable <daemon_name>.service
sudo systemctl start <daemon_name>.service
