Manual Installation

Step 1: Install Denpendencis

Step 2: Install Go

cd $HOME
curl -Ls https://go.dev/dl/go1.21.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz -o go.tar.gz
rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go.tar.gz
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
go version

Step 3: Install Axone Node

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/axone-protocol/axone.git
cd axone
git checkout v12.0.0
make install

# Verify installation
axoned version  # <span style="color: green;">Should output: 12.0.0</span>

Step 4: Initialize Node

axoned init Your_Node_Name --chain-id axone-1

Step 5: Download Genesis

curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OneNov0209/networks/refs/heads/main/chains/1/genesis.json > $HOME/.axoned/config/genesis.json

Step 6: Configure Node

# Download addrbook
curl -Ls https://cumulo.pro/services/axone/addrbook.json > $HOME/.axoned/config/addrbook.json

# Set minimum gas price
sed -i 's|minimum-gas-prices = ""|minimum-gas-prices = "0.025uaxone"|g' $HOME/.axoned/config/app.toml

# Enable public RPC
sed -i 's|laddr = "tcp://127.0.0.1:26657"|laddr = "tcp://0.0.0.0:26657"|g' $HOME/.axoned/config/config.toml

Validator Configuration

Create or Recover Wallet

# Create new wallet
axoned keys add wallet --keyring-backend test

# Recover existing wallet
axoned keys add wallet --recover --keyring-backend test

⚠️ Securely backup your mnemonic phrase!

Create Validator

axoned tx staking create-validator \
  --amount 1500000uaxone \
  --pubkey $(axoned tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker "Your_Moniker" \
  --identity "your identity" \
  --website "https://onenov.xyz" \
  --details "stake with me" \
  --commission-rate 0.05 \
  --commission-max-rate 0.20 \
  --commission-max-change-rate 0.01 \
  --min-self-delegation 1 \
  --from wallet \
  --chain-id axone-1 \
  --keyring-backend test \
  --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.3 \
  --fees 5000uaxone \
  -y

Service Configuration

Step 1: Create Systemd Service

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/axone.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Axone Node
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which axoned) start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

Step 2: Enable and Start Service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable axone
sudo systemctl start axone

# Check status
sudo systemctl status axone

# View logs (Ctrl+C to exit)
sudo journalctl -u axone -f -o cat
