<pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash"># Install developer packages
<strong>sudo apt install -y curl git jq lz4 build-essential
</strong></code></pre>

```bash
# Install Go
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
curl -Ls https://go.dev/dl/go1.23.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar -xzf - -C /usr/local
eval $(echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/golang.sh)

## ***Automatic Installation***

```bash
source <(curl8 -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/validexis/Xion/main/installmain.sh)
```

## ***Manual Installation***

```bash
# Come up with the name of your node and replace it instead <your_moniker>
MONIKER=<your_moniker>
```

<pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash"># Download binary files
cd $HOME
rm -rf xion
git clone https://github.com/burnt-labs/xion.git
cd xion
git checkout v14.0.0

make install
<strong>xiond version
</strong></code></pre>

<pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash"># Initialize the node
xiond init $MONIKER --chain-id=xion-mainnet-1

xiond config set client chain-id xion-mainnet-1

curl -Ls https://ss.xion.nodestake.org/addrbook.json > $HOME/.xiond/config/addrbook.json
```

***Setup config***

<pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash"># Set seeds and peers
seed="6df32f0e5142861ea9ddfdde0fdb50698bceb760@rpc.xion.nodestake.org:666"

sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"100\"/" $HOME/.xiond/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"19\"/" $HOME/.xiond/config/app.toml

</code></pre>

#### ***Set custom ports***

You can change value CUSTOM\_PORT=162 To any other ports

```bash
CUSTOM_PORT=162
```

```bash
sed -i -e "s%^proxy_app = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:26658\"%proxy_app = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:${CUSTOM_PORT}58\"%; s%^laddr = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:26657\"%laddr = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:${CUSTOM_PORT}57\"%; s%^pprof_laddr = \"localhost:6060\"%pprof_laddr = \"localhost:${CUSTOM_PORT}60\"%; s%^laddr = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:26656\"%laddr = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:${CUSTOM_PORT}56\"%; s%^prometheus_listen_addr = \":26660\"%prometheus_listen_addr = \":${CUSTOM_PORT}66\"%" $HOME/.xiond/config/config.toml
sed -i -e "s%^address = \"tcp://localhost:1317\"%address = \"tcp://localhost:${CUSTOM_PORT}17\"%; s%^address = \":8080\"%address = \":${CUSTOM_PORT}80\"%; s%^address = \"localhost:9090\"%address = \"localhost:${CUSTOM_PORT}90\"%; s%^address = \"localhost:9091\"%address = \"localhost:${CUSTOM_PORT}91\"%; s%^address = \"0.0.0.0:8545\"%address = \"0.0.0.0:${CUSTOM_PORT}45\"%; s%^ws-address = \"0.0.0.0:8546\"%ws-address = \"0.0.0.0:${CUSTOM_PORT}46\"%" $HOME/.xiond/config/app.toml
```

```bash
#Set config with new custom port
xiond config set client node tcp://localhost:${CUSTOM_PORT}57
```

```bash
# Create service file

```bash
# Download latest chain snapshot
SNAP_NAME=$(curl -s https://ss.xion.nodestake.org/ | egrep -o ">20.*\.tar.lz4" | tr -d ">")
curl -o - -L https://ss.xion.nodestake.org/${SNAP_NAME}  | lz4 -c -d - | tar -x -C $HOME/.xiond
```

<pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash"># Enable and start service

<strong>sudo systemctl restart xiond &#x26;&#x26; sudo journalctl -u xiond -fo cat
</strong></code></pre>

```bash
# Check status
xiond status 2>&1 | jq

#"catching_up": false means that the node is synchronized, we are waiting for complete synchronization
```

***Wallets***

```bash
# Create wallet
xiond keys add wallet
```

The wallet has been created. In the last line there will be a phrase that must be written down

```bash
# If the wallet was already there, restore it
xiond keys add wallet --recover

# Insert the seed phrase from your wallet
# If everything is correct, you will see your wallet data
```

***Validator***

Do not forget to create a profile on <https://keybase.io/> and set a profile photo there that will be imported by key and used for your validators.

```bash
xiond tx staking create-validator \
--amount 1000000uxion \
--pubkey $(xiond tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker "YOUR_MONIKER_NAME" \
--identity "YOUR_KEYBASE_ID" \
--details "YOUR_DETAILS" \
--website "YOUR_WEBSITE_URL" \
--chain-id xion-mainnet-1 \
--commission-rate 0.05 \
--commission-max-rate 0.20 \
--commission-max-change-rate 0.05 \
--min-self-delegation 1 \
--from wallet \
--gas-adjustment 1.4 \
--gas auto \
--gas-prices 0uxion \
-y
```

**!!! Save priv\_validator\_key.json which is located in /root/.zetacored/config**
