Allora Node Setup Guide

Install dependencies

Update system package and install build tools

sudo apt -q update
sudo apt -qy install curl git jq lz4 build-essential fail2ban ufw
sudo apt -qy upgrade

Configure Moniker

Replace with your own validator name

MONIKER="YOUR MONIKER NAME"

Install Go

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
curl -Ls https://go.dev/dl/go1.21.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar -xzf - -C /usr/local
eval $(echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/golang.sh)
eval $(echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin' | tee -a $HOME/.profile)

Build Binaries

Clone project repository & Compile binaries

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/allora-network/allora-chain allora
cd alloragit
checkout v0.0.10
make build

Prepare binaries for cosmovisor

mkdir -p $HOME/.allorad/cosmovisor/genesis/bin
mv build/allorad $HOME/.allorad/cosmovisor/genesis/bin/
rm -rf build

Create symlinks

sudo ln -s $HOME/.allorad/cosmovisor/genesis $HOME/.allorad/cosmovisor/current -f
sudo ln -s $HOME/.allorad/cosmovisor/current/bin/allorad /usr/local/bin/allorad -f

Cosmovisor Setup

go install cosmossdk.io/tools/cosmovisor/cmd/cosmovisor@v1.5.0

Create a Systemd Service

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/allora.service > /dev/null << EOF
[Unit]
Description=allora node service
After=network-online.target
 
[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$(which cosmovisor) run start

Enable Allora Systemd Service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable allora

Initialize Node

Setting node configuration

allorad config set client chain-id testnet
allorad config set client keyring-backend test
allorad config set client node tcp://localhost:24657

Initialize Node

allorad init $MONIKER --chain-id testnet

Download Genesis File
