```html
ver="1.20.3"
wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go

rm "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
go version
```

**Download and build binaries**

```
wget https://github.com/airchains-network/junction/releases/download/v0.1.0/junctiond
chmod +x junctiond
sudo mv junctiond /usr/local/bin
```

#### Config chain and Init

> `Moniker` - change to your moniker name

```
junctiond config chain-id junction
junctiond init "Moniker" --chain-id junction
```

**Download Genesis and Addrbook**

```
sudo wget -O $HOME/.junction/config/genesis.json https://testnet-files.suntzu.dev/download/testnet/airchains/genesis.json
sudo wget -O $HOME/.junction/config/addrbook.json https://testnet-files.suntzu.dev/download/testnet/airchains/addrbook.json

sed -i.bak -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0.05amf\"/;" ~/.junction/config/app.toml
```

**Config Pruning**

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

**Set seeds and peers**

<pre><code>PEERS=$(curl -sS https://junction-rpc.dymion.cloud/net_info | \
jq -r '.result.peers[] | "\(.node_info.id)@\(.remote_ip):\(.node_info.listen_addr)"' | \
awk -F ':' '{printf "%s:%s%s", $1, $(NF), NR==NF?"":","}')
echo "$PEERS"

<strong>sed -i 's|^persistent_peers *=.*|persistent_peers = "'$PEERS'"|' $HOME/.junction/config/config.toml
</strong></code></pre>

#### Change port

```
CUSTOM_PORT=113
sed -i.bak -e "s%:1317%:${CUSTOM_PORT}17%g;

s%^external_address = \"\"%external_address = \"$(wget -qO- eth0.me):${CUSTOM_PORT}56\"%;
s%:26660%:${CUSTOM_PORT}60%g" $HOME/.junction/config/config.toml
```

**Snapshot**
