Initial System Setup

Initial setup prior to installing binary

Update System and Install Build Tools

sudo apt sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install git curl build-essential make jq gcc snapd chrony lz4 tmux unzip bc -y

Install Go

Go 1.19+ is required. We will use Go v1.19.3 as example here. . The code below also cleanly removes any previous Go installation.

sudo rm -rvf /usr/local/go/
wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.19.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.19.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
rm go1.19.3.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/cosmovisor@v1.0.0
