pryzmd  init <node_name> --chain-id indigo-1
```

5. **Download genesis.**

```
curl -Ls https://snap.nodex.one/pryzm-testnet/genesis.json > $HOME/.pryzm/config/genesis.json
```

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

```
sed -i -e "s|^seeds *=.*|seeds = \"d1d43cc7c7aef715957289fd96a114ecaa7ba756@testnet-seeds.nodex.one:23210\"|" $HOME/.pryzm/config/config.toml

```
sed -i -e "s|^minimum-gas-prices *=.*|minimum-gas-prices = \"0.015upryzm\"|" $HOME/.pryzm/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\"/" $HOME/.hid-node/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.hid-node/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.hid-node/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.hid-node/config/app.toml

9. **Create service file.**

```
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/pryzmd.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
