## Installation Steps

Install dependencies:

```shell
cd $HOME
sudo apt update
sudo apt install make clang pkg-config libssl-dev build-essential git jq ncdu bsdmainutils -y < "/dev/null"
```

Install Go:

```shell
cd $HOME
wget -O go1.20.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz https://go.dev/dl/go1.20.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.20.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz && rm go1.20.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
echo 'export GOROOT=/usr/local/go' >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/go' >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo 'export GO111MODULE=on' >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin' >> $HOME/.bashrc && . $HOME/.bashrc
go version
```

Clone git repository:

```shell
git clone --branch <latest-release-tag> https://github.com/stafihub/stafihub
```

Install:

```shell
cd $HOME/stafihub && make install
```

Download genesis (replace `YOUR_NODE_NAME`):

```shell
stafihubd init YOUR_NODE_NAME --chain-id stafihub-1
wget -O $HOME/.stafihub/config/genesis.json "https://github.com/stafihub/network/raw/main/mainnets/stafihub-1(dragonberry)/genesis.json"
stafihubd tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home ~/.stafihub
```

Configure your node:

```shell
sed -i.bak -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.01ufis\"/" $HOME/.stafihub/config/app.toml
sed -i '/\[grpc\]/{:a;n;/enabled/s/false/true/;Ta};/\[api\]/{:a;n;/enable/s/false/true/;Ta;}' $HOME/.stafihub/config/app.toml
peers="bed296dfadd972ed07cab82c87a0ee5c182dea43@18.136.189.120:26656,045fe6e054a5abe35f5433bd333f0a1b18aa28cf@45.136.28.11:26656,d35d55635093fddb6de22295c8fe31de98efe6ef@5.161.120.176:26656,20c0b45c47426c51b3187aa5dca82d9900c2fb36@5.161.88.157:26656,70230067eb1e668d2566329e727c72c930e54de3@116.202.30.7:26656,03f3cb61c7c472044c37aeededde2ffe8884fa02@159.69.108.86:26656"
sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$peers\"/" $HOME/.stafihub/config/config.toml
```

Start the node in the background:

```shell
stafihubd start
```

Or install service to run the node:

```shell
echo "[Unit]
Description=StaFiHub Node
After=network.target

[Service]
User=$USER
Type=simple
ExecStart=$(which stafihubd) start
Restart=on-failure
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target" > $HOME/stafihubd.service
sudo mv $HOME/stafihubd.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo tee <<EOF >/dev/null /etc/systemd/journald.conf
Storage=persistent
EOF
sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable stafihubd
sudo systemctl restart stafihubd
```

Check your node logs:

```shell
journalctl -u stafihubd -f
```

## Generate keys

```shell
stafihubd keys add YOUR_WALLET_NAME --keyring-backend file
```

You can recover your keys with `--recover` flag if you have mnemonic

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stafihub.io/welcome-to-stafihub/chain/getting-started/join-the-mainnet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
