# Installation

If you want to setup Stride fullnode manually follow the steps below

## Update and upgrade

```
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
```

## Install GO

```
if ! [ -x "$(command -v go)" ]; then
  ver="1.19.3"
  cd $HOME
  wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
  sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
  sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
  rm "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
  echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
  source ~/.bash_profile
fi
```

## Install node

```
cd $HOME
rm -rf stride
git clone https://github.com/Stride-Labs/stride.git
cd stride
git checkout 
make install
```

## Setting up vars

You should replace values in <>\
\<YOUR\_MONIKER> Here you should put name of your moniker (validator) that will be visible in explorer\
\<YOUR\_WALLET> Here you shoud put the name of your wallet

```
STRIDE_WALLET="<YOUR_WALLET_NAME>"
STRIDE_NODENAME="<YOUR_MONIKER>"
STRIDE_CHAIN_ID=""
```

```
echo "
export STRIDE_WALLET=${STRIDE_WALLET}
export STRIDE_NODENAME=${STRIDE_NODENAME}
export STRIDE_CHAIN_ID=${STRIDE_CHAIN_ID}
" >> $HOME/.bash_profile

source $HOME/.bash_profile
```

## Configure your node

```
d config chain-id ${STRIDE_CHAIN_ID}
```

## Initialize your node

```
d init ${STRIDE_NODENAME} --chain-id ${STRIDE_CHAIN_ID}
```

## Download genesis & addrbook

```
curl -Ls "https://snapshots.l0vd.com/stride-mainnet/genesis.json" > $HOME/.stride/config/genesis.json
curl -Ls "https://snapshots.l0vd.com/stride-mainnet/addrbook.json" > $HOME/.stride/config/addrbook.json
```

## (OPTIONAL) Set custom ports

### If you want to use non-default ports

```
STRIDE_PORT=<SET_CUSTOM_PORT> #Example: STRIDE_PORT=56 (numbers from 1 to 64)
```

```
sed -i.bak -e "s%^proxy_app = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:26658\"%proxy_app = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:${STRIDE_PORT}658\"%; s%^laddr = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:26657\"%laddr = \"tcp://127.0.0.1:${STRIDE_PORT}657\"%; s%^pprof_laddr = \"localhost:6060\"%pprof_laddr = \"localhost:${STRIDE_PORT}060\"%; s%^laddr = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:26656\"%laddr = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:${STRIDE_PORT}656\"%; s%^prometheus_listen_addr = \":26660\"%prometheus_listen_addr = \":${STRIDE_PORT}660\"%" /$HOME/.stride/config/config.toml
sed -i.bak -e "s%^address = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:1317\"%address = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:${STRIDE_PORT}317\"%; s%^address = \"tcp://localhost:1317\"%address = \"tcp://0.0.0.0:${STRIDE_PORT}317\"%; s%^address = \":8080\"%address = \":${STRIDE_PORT}080\"%; s%^address = \"0.0.0.0:9090\"%address = \"0.0.0.0:${STRIDE_PORT}090\"%; s%^address = \"localhost:9090\"%address = \"localhost:${STRIDE_PORT}090\"%; s%^address = \"0.0.0.0:9091\"%address = \"0.0.0.0:${STRIDE_PORT}091\"%; s%^address = \"localhost:9091\"%address = \"localhost:${STRIDE_PORT}091\"%; s%^address = \"0.0.0.0:8545\"%address = \"0.0.0.0:${STRIDE_PORT}545\"%; s%^ws-address = \"0.0.0.0:8546\"%ws-address = \"0.0.0.0:${STRIDE_PORT}546\"%" /$HOME/.stride/config/app.toml
```

```
d config node tcp://localhost:${STRIDE_PORT}657
```

## Set seeds and peers

```
PEERS="@stride-mainnet.peers.l0vd.com:"
sed -i -e "s/^seeds *=.*/seeds = \"$SEEDS\"/; s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$PEERS\"/" $HOME/.stride/config/config.toml
```

## Config pruning

```
pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="100"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="50"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.stride/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.stride/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.stride/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.stride/config/app.toml
```

## Set minimum gas price and null indexer

```
sed -i -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.0005ustrd\"/" $HOME/.stride/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^indexer *=.*/indexer = \"null\"/" $HOME/.stride/config/config.toml
```

## Create Service

```
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/d.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Stride mainnet
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which d) start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=65535

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
```

## Reset blockchain info and restart your node

```
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable d
d tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.stride --keep-addr-book
sudo systemctl restart d && sudo journalctl -u d -f -o cat
```

## (OPTIONAL) Use State Sync

### [State Sync](/mainnets/stride/installation-guide.md)

## Starting a validator

### 1. Add a new key

```
d keys add ${STRIDE_WALLET}
```

#### (OR)

### 1. Recover your key

```
d keys add ${STRIDE_WALLET} --recover
```

```
STRIDE_WALLET_ADDR=$(d keys show ${STRIDE_WALLET} -a)
echo "export STRIDE_WALLET_ADDR=${STRIDE_WALLET_ADDR}" >> $HOME/.bash_profile

source $HOME/.bash_profile
```

## 2. Create validator

{% hint style="info" %}
Wait until the node is synchronized.
{% endhint %}

```
d tx staking create-validator \
--amount 1000000ustrd \
--commission-max-change-rate "0.01" \
--commission-max-rate "0.20" \
--commission-rate "0.1" \
--min-self-delegation "1" \
--details "" \
--pubkey $(d tendermint show-validator) \
--moniker ${STRIDE_NODENAME} \
--chain-id ${STRIDE_CHAIN_ID} \
--from ${STRIDE_WALLET_ADDR} \
--gas-prices 0.0005ustrd \
--gas-adjustment 1.5 \
--gas auto \
--yes
```

# Agent Instructions: 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:

```
GET https://chain-services.l0vd.com/mainnets/stride/installation-guide.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
