🟡OKP4

To install an OKP4 node for participating in the testnet, follow these steps:

Hardware Requirements

Before beginning the installation process, ensure your system meets the minimum recommended hardware configuration:

• 2 cores (modern CPU)

• 8GB of RAM

• 200GB of disk space

• 10Mbps permanent internet connection[6]

Installation Process

1. Prepare the environment

First, update your system and install necessary dependencies:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install build-essential jq wget git -y

1. Install Go

OKP4 requires Go to be installed. Download and set up Go:

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.19.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.19.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile

1. Install OKP4 binary

Clone the OKP4 repository and install the binary:

git clone https://github.com/okp4/okp4d.git
cd okp4d
make install

1. Initialize the node

Set up your validator name and initialize the node:

MONIKER="your_validator_name"
okp4d init $MONIKER --chain-id okp4-nemeton-1

1. Configure the node

Download the genesis file and set up peers:

wget -O $HOME/.okp4d/config/genesis.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okp4/networks/main/chains/nemeton-1/genesis.json"
PEERS="4f35ab6008fc46cc50b103a337ec2266400eca2e@148.251.50.79:26656,..."
sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$PEERS\"/" $HOME/.okp4d/config/config.toml

1. Start the node

You can now start your OKP4 node:

okp4d start

Additional Configuration

• To run the node as a background service, consider setting up a systemd service[5].

• For improved performance, you may want to configure state sync or use a snapshot[3].
