#### 📌**Step 1: Installation packeges and dependencies** <a href="#step-1-installation-packeges-and-dependencies" id="step-1-installation-packeges-and-dependencies"></a>

```
# Install dependencies for building from source
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y lz4 jq make git gcc build-essential curl chrony unzip gzip snapd tmux bc

# Bash Profile Environment Setup
[ ! -f ~/.bash_profile ] && touch ~/.bash_profile
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:~/go/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
[ ! -d ~/go/bin ] && mkdir -p ~/go/bin

# Install Go
cd $HOME
VER="1.22.0"
wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$VER.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$VER.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
rm "go$VER.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
[ ! -f ~/.bash_profile ] && touch ~/.bash_profile
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:~/go/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
```

#### 📌**Step 2: Set moniker and install node** <a href="#step-2-set-moniker-and-install-node" id="step-2-set-moniker-and-install-node"></a>

Give your validator a name by which you can find yourself in explorer, put it in ""

```
MONIKER=""
```

After that, insert the following node installation command ( apply one by one to avoid meeting with an error )

```
# Clone project repository
cd $HOME
wget -O pellcored https://github.com/0xPellNetwork/network-config/releases/download/v1.2.1/pellcored-v1.2.1-linux-amd64
chmod +x pellcored
mv pellcored ~/go/bin/
WASMVM_VERSION=v2.1.2
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.pellcored/lib
mkdir -p $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
wget "https://github.com/CosmWasm/wasmvm/releases/download/$WASMVM_VERSION/libwasmvm.$(uname -m).so" -O "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH/libwasmvm.$(uname -m).so"
echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/.pellcored/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

# Initialize the node
If you encounter an error here, please manually edit the file using
pellcored config keyring-backend os
pellcored config chain-id ignite_186-1
pellcored init "$MONIKER" --chain-id ignite_186-1 

nano /root/.pellcored/config/client.toml
CTRL+X Y Enter

### 📝 Create wallet <a href="#create-wallet" id="create-wallet"></a>

#### 📌**Step 1: Create wallet** <a href="#step-1-create-wallet" id="step-1-create-wallet"></a>

```
pellcored keys add wallet
```

Save all information after entering the command.

#### 📌**Step 2: Request test tokens to your wallet address** <a href="#step-2-request-test-tokens-to-your-wallet-address" id="step-2-request-test-tokens-to-your-wallet-address"></a>

To receive test tokens, you will need to request tokens from the project team.

#### 📌**Step 3:** **Create validator** <a href="#step-3-create-validator" id="step-3-create-validator"></a>

Please arrange the following information according to yourself

```
cd $HOME
# Create validator.json file
echo "{\"pubkey\":{\"@type\":\"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey\",\"key\":\"$(pellcored comet show-validator | grep -Po '\"key\":\s*\"\K[^"]*')\"},
    \"amount\": \"1000000apell\",
    \"moniker\": \"$MONIKER\",
    \"identity\": \"\",
    \"website\": \"\",
    \"security\": \"\",
    \"details\": \"\",
    \"commission-rate\": \"0.1\",
    \"commission-max-rate\": \"0.2\",
    \"commission-max-change-rate\": \"0.01\",
    \"min-self-delegation\": \"1\"
}" > validator.json

# Create a validator using the JSON configuration
pellcored tx staking create-validator validator.json \
    --from $WALLET \
    --chain-id ignite_186-1 \
	--gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5
```

#### 📌**Step 4:** **Delegate to yourself** <a href="#step-3-create-validator" id="step-3-create-validator"></a>

```
pellcored tx staking delegate $(pellcored keys show $WALLET --bech val -a) 1000000apell --from $WALLET --chain-id ignite_186-1 --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 -y 
```

#### Check Log <a href="#delegate-to-another-validator" id="delegate-to-another-validator"></a>

```
sudo journalctl -u pellcored -f
```
