Install Go

Replace VERSION with the desired Go version

VERSION="1.22.3" cd $HOME wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$VERSION.linux-amd64.tar.gz" sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$VERSION.linux-amd64.tar.gz" rm "go$VERSION.linux-amd64.tar.gz" # Set Go environment variables echo "export PATH=\$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:\$HOME/go/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile source ~/.bash_profile

Install node

cd $HOME mkdir src cd src git clone https://github.com/sideprotocol/side cd sidechain git checkout v1.0.0 make install sided version

Initialize Node

Replace <node_name>

~/go/bin/.sided init <node_name> --chain-id="sidechain-1"

Download genesis.json

curl -Ls https://github.com/sideprotocol/networks/raw/main/mainnet/sidechain-1/genesis.json > $HOME/.sided/config/genesis.json

Download addrbook.json

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

Create Service

Cosmovisor:

If you haven't cosmovisor, you should install it

go install cosmossdk.io/tools/cosmovisor/cmd/cosmovisor@latest

You can find cosmovisor biniry in ~/go/bin/ folder. After that you should create

mkdir -p ~/.sidechain/cosmovisor/genesis/bin && mkdir -p ~/.sidechain/cosmovisor/upgrades

Set up service:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/sided.service

Replace <your_user>

[Unit] Description=sided Daemon cosmovisor After=network-online.target [Service] User=<your_user> ExecStart=/home/<your_user>/go/bin/cosmovisor run start Restart=always RestartSec=3 LimitNOFILE=4096 Environment="DAEMON_NAME=sided" Environment="DAEMON_HOME=/home/<your_user>/.sided" Environment="DAEMON_ALLOW_DOWNLOAD_BINARIES=false" Environment="DAEMON_RESTART_AFTER_UPGRADE=true" Environment="DAEMON_LOG_BUFFER_SIZE=512" [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Simple service file:

Set up service:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/sided.service

Replace <your_user>

[Unit] Description=sided Daemon After=network-online.target [Service] User=<your_user> ExecStart=/home/<your_user>/go/bin/sided start Restart=always RestartSec=3 LimitNOFILE=65535 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
