step by step Avail fullnode

tutorial to boostsrap a fullnode on the avail kate testnet Hey with this tutorial you can run an Avail full node step by step : You need a Linux virtual machine

1)setting up your environment : Installation of the required dependencies:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install make clang pkg-config libssl-dev build-essential git screen protobuf-compiler -y

2)Installs Rust :

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

Press 1, Rust is installed, configure your current shell:

source $HOME/.cargo/env

Install nightly :

rustup update nightly
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly

Check the rust version:

rustc —version

3)Clone the full node repository:

git clone https://github.com/availproject/avail.git

4)Client installation: (There are two methods to run your full node but I recommend the second for a better monitoring)

First method:

cd avail
screen -S avail

git checkout v1.7.2

cargo build --release -p data-avail

final result

cargo build --release

final result

5)Run the node

./target/release/data-avail --base-path `pwd`/data --chain kate --name patatedoucetest

Change “patatedouce” with your node name before running your node

To check the node status go on the avail telemetry: http://telemetry.avail.tools/ your node will be appearing on the site under the “node name” you should see your node syncing in grey like in the example

Second method:

mkdir -p output
mkdir -p data
git checkout v1.7.2
cargo run --locked --release -- --chain kate -d ./output

sudo touch /etc/systemd/system/availd.service
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/availd.service

Copy this and paste it in the file, don’t forget to change the name “patatedouce” whit your name:

[Unit]
Description=Avail Validator
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0
[Service]
User=root
ExecStart= /root/avail/target/release/data-avail --base-path `pwd`/data --chain kate --name "patatedoucetest"
Restart=always
RestartSec=120
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Ctrl+x press y to save the file and enter to exit

To enable your file:

sudo systemctl enable availd.service

Start the node:

sudo systemctl start availd.service

You can check the status:

sudo systemctl status availd.service

check your node log:

journalctl -f -u availd

If you wan to stop the node:

sudo systemctl stop availd.service

To check the node status go on the avail telemetry: http://telemetry.avail.tools/ your node will be appearing on the site under the “node name” you should see your node syncing in grey like in the example

Notable commands : To exit the open window: (Ctrl + a + d) To stop the log/node: (Ctrl +c) Return on the window : screen -x If you open multiple windows: screen -r and the window name
