1. **Update packages and install useful tools.**

```
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade --yes && \
sudo apt install git build-essential ufw curl jq snapd screen ncdu nano fuse ufw --yes
```

2. **Install `go` using `snap`**.

```
sudo snap install go --classic && \

```

4. **Initialize your node.**

```
tgrade init <node_name> --chain-id tgrade-mainnet-1
```

5. **Download genesis.**

```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/confio/tgrade-networks/main/mainnet-1/config/genesis.json -O /root/.tgrade/config/genesis.json
```

6. **Add seeds and peers to `config.toml`.**

```
SEEDS="8639bc931d5721a64afc1ea52ca63ae40161bd26@194.163.144.63:26656,4557e0d0f4d543480b96ba9da3c167e4dfb32e14@167.99.67.252:26656,2df762919720bca5f46042f77148de73c06049d8@seed.tgrade.validator.run:26656"
PEERS="0a63421f67d02e7fb823ea6d6ceb8acf758df24d@142.132.226.137:26656,4a319eead699418e974e8eed47c2de6332c3f825@167.235.255.9:26656,6918efd409684d64694cac485dbcc27dfeea4f38@49.12.240.203:26656"
sed -i -e "s/^seeds *=.*/seeds = \"$SEEDS\"/; s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$PEERS\"/" $HOME/.tgrade/config/config.toml
```

7. #### Set up minimum gas price.

```
sed -i "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.05utgd\"/;" $HOME/.tgrade/config/app.toml
```

8. **Set up pruning (optional).**

```
pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="100"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="10"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.tgrade/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.tgrade/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.tgrade/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.tgrade/config/app.toml
```

9. **Create service file.**

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

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

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
