Deployment Steps

To deploy the Artela node, follow these detailed steps:

Step 1: Update and Install Dependencies

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

Step 2: Install Go

wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.16.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvf go1.16.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv go /usr/local
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin:$PATH

Step 3: Clone Artela Repository

git clone https://github.com/artela-network/artela
cd artela
make install

Step 4: Initialize the Node

Initialize the node with the desired moniker and chain ID.

artelad init TLanderon --chain-id artela-testnet

Step 5: Configure the Node

Configure the node by setting up the config.toml and app.toml files located in the .artelad/config directory.

nano ~/.artelad/config/config.toml

Update the following fields:

• Moniker: "TLanderon"
• P2P Laddr: "tcp://0.0.0.0:26656"
• RPC Laddr: "tcp://0.0.0.0:26657"

nano ~/.artelad/config/app.toml

Update the following fields:

• minimum-gas-prices: "0.025uartela"
• pruning: "custom"
• pruning-keep-recent: "100"
• pruning-keep-every: "0"
• pruning-interval: "10"

Step 6: Add Genesis Account

Add the genesis account using the artelacli tool.

artelacli add-genesis-account $(artelacli keys show TLanderon -a) 1000000000stake

Step 7: Generate and Collect Gentxs

Generate the gentx file and collect all gentxs.

artelad gentx --name TLanderon --amount 1000000000stake
artelad collect-gentxs

Step 8: Validate Genesis File

Validate the genesis file to ensure the configuration is correct.

artelad validate-genesis

Step 9: Start the Node

Start the node with the following command.

artelad start
