Step 1: Install Namada

Start by downloading and installing the Namada binaries:

# Clone the Namada repository
git clone <https://github.com/anoma/namada.git>
cd namada

git checkout <latest-version>

# Build the binaries
make build-release

# Add the binaries to your PATH (update with your actual path)
export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)/target/release

Step 2: Set Up the Full Node Configuration

1. Initialize the Node: This will create the default configuration directory for Namada.

   namada node init
   
   

   This command sets up the required files in the ~/.namada directory.

2. Edit the Configuration (Optional): Open the ~/.namada/config.toml file and customize parameters such as:

   • rpc settings for the API.
   • p2p settings for peer discovery.

   Example:

   nano ~/.namada/config.toml
   
   

Step 3: Start the Full Node

Run the full node using the following command:

namada node start

This command will:

• Connect the node to the network.
• Begin syncing the blockchain data.
