​
Prerequisites

First we need to install Git, Node.js, Go and Rust:

​
Install Git

bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

​
Install Node.js with NVM

bash
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
Currently, Stateset Network uses Go 1.19 to compile the code. Install GO Install Go 1.19 Verify the installation by typing go version in your terminal.
jsx
go version 
go version go1.18.1 darwin/amd64

​
Setup

  1. Stop your node
  2. Reset statesetd unsafe-reset-all
  3. Remove genesis rm .stateset/config/genesis.json
  4. Remove gentxs rm -r .stateset/config/gentx/
  5. Follow generate gentx as normal below
Genesis File Genesis File: 
   curl -s  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stateset/networks/main/stateset-1/genesis.json > ~/.stateset/config/genesis.json
statesetd version 
$ statesetd version
latest-8e35a4d3

​
Setup

Prerequisites: Make sure to have Golang >=1.19.

​
Build from source

You need to ensure your gopath configuration is correct. If the following ‘make’ step does not work then you might have to add these lines to your .profile or .zshrc in the users home folder: 
nano ~/.profile

export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GO111MODULE=on
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin
Source update .profile 
source .profile

git clone https://github.com/stateset/stateset
cd stateset
make build && make install
This will build and install statesetd binary into $GOBIN. Note: When building from source, it is important to have your $GOPATH set correctly. When in doubt, the following should do: 
mkdir ~/go
export GOPATH=~/go

​
Minimum hardware requirements

  • 8-16GB RAM
  • 100GB of disk space
  • 2 cores

​
Setup validator node

Below are the instructions to generate & submit your genesis transaction

​
Generate genesis transaction (gentx)

  1. Initialize the Stateset directories and create the local genesis file with the correct chain-id: 
    statesetd init <moniker-name> --chain-id=stateset-1
  2. Create a local key pair: 
    statesetd keys add <key-name>
  3. Add your account to your local genesis file with a given amount and the key you just created. 
    statesetd add-genesis-account $(statesetd keys show <key-name> -a) 10000000000ustate
  4. Create the gentx, use only 9000000000ustate: 
    statesetd gentx <key-name> 9000000000ustate --chain-id=stateset-1-testnet
    If all goes well, you will see a message similar to the following: 
    Genesis transaction written to "/home/user/.stateset/config/gentx/gentx-******.json"

​
Submit genesis transaction

  • Fork the networks repo into your Github account
  • Clone your repo using 
    git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/networks
  • Copy the generated gentx json file to <repo_path>/networks/stateset-1/gentx/ 
    > cd testnets
> cp ~/.stateset/config/gentx/gentx*.json ./stateset-1/gentx/
  • Commit and push to your repo
  • Create a PR onto https://github.com/stateset/networks
  • Only PRs from individuals / groups with a history successfully running nodes will be accepted. This is to ensure the network successfully starts on time.
