We are going to use the binaries, install the latest version via godownloader with:

Maker you are in your home directory:

cd ~/

INSTALL TO. ‘/bin’ WITH:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovrclk/akash/v0.7.8-rc3/godownloader.sh | sh

The final step is to make sure that the akash binaries are available in your shell PATH.

This page contains instructions for setting the PATH on Linux.

sudo nano ~/.bashrc

Go to the bottom of the file and add/edit (~/bin might already be there):

export PATH="~/:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin:~/bin"

Save the file and type:

source .bashrc

To(If) UPGRADE(ING) (current installed version to new release):

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovrclk/akash/master/godownloader.sh | sh -s -- <CURRENT VERSION> to <NEW VERSION>

---

akashd init <TEAM NAME> --chain-id <NAME OF THE CHAIN e.g. centauri>

The above command will create the necessary configurations under ~/.akashd with the below structure:
├── config
│ ├── app.toml
│ ├── config.toml
│ ├── genesis.json
│ ├── node_key.json
│ └── priv_validator_key.json
└── data
└── priv_validator_state.json

Add a Key using the following. This will tie it to your

export TEAM=<TEAM NAME>
akashctl keys add $TEAM
-- keyring passphrase: **************

Important: Memorize your Keyring Passphrase and store it in a safe place should you forget it. **

The output of the above should look like this:

Enter keyring passphrase: **************

• name:
  type: local
  address: akash*****************************************
  pubkey: akashpub1add***********************************************
  mnemonic: ""
  threshold: 0
  pubkeys: []

Important write this 24 WORD MNEMONIC phrase in a safe place.
It is the only way to recover your account if you ever forget your password.

<24 WORD MNEMONIC>

curl -s curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovrclk/net/master/latest/genesis.json > ~/.akashd/config/genesis.json

nano ~/.akashd/config/config.toml

In the file you just opened, find the following section and add the seed and persistent peer nodes, the values should be separated by a comma (,) for each key:

seeds = "[email protected]:26656"

persistent_peers = "[email protected]:26656,[email protected]:26656"

The above configuration will sync your node with below set of seeds nodes and persistent peers:

Seed nodes:
• [email protected]:26656

Persistent peers:
• [email protected]:26656
• [email protected]:26656
