Create a N1PC node

This guide provides a straightforward approach to setting up and running an N1PC node on your system. Follow these steps to get started:

Prerequisites

• A server or local machine with a recent version of Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS recommended).

• A user with sudo privileges.

• Basic knowledge of terminal and command line.

Install git

First, ensure Git is installed on your system to clone the N1PC repository:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

Setup firewall

Configure your firewall to secure the node:

sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw allow 26656/tcp
sudo ufw allow 26660/tcp
sudo ufw allow 26657/tcp
sudo ufw allow 9090/tcp
sudo ufw allow 1317/tcp
sudo ufw enable

Clone n1pc repository

Clone the repository to obtain the necessary files:

git clone  https://github.com/noone-dev-1/n1pc.git

Initialize the Node

Navigate to the N1PC directory and initialize your node with a unique name and the network's chain ID:

cd n1pc
tar -xzvf linux-amd64.tar.gz
chmod +x n1pcd
./n1pcd init your-node-name --chain-id n1pc

Running the init command will create a ~/.n1pc folder with config files. In the next steps, we will configure our node so it can connect to other nodes.

Make n1pcd Executable System-wide

To ensure n1pcd can be run from anywhere:

nano ~/.bashrc

Add the following line at the end of the file:

export PATH=$PATH:<path-to-n1pc-folder-from-step-3>

Save and exit, then apply the changes:

source ~/.bashrc

Configure node

Adjust the node's configuration to connect to the network:

cd ~/.n1pc/config
nano config.toml

# Modify the following
[p2p]
external_address = "<your-ip-address>:26656"

persistent_peers = "[e-mail]:26656"

nano app.toml

# modify the following
minimum-gas-prices = "0.25noone,0.0001stake"

Copy the Genesis file

Ensure the node is configured with the correct genesis file:

cd ~/.n1pc/config

cp <path-to-n1pc-folder>/genesis.json .

Run the Node

Start your node to begin syncing with the network:

n1pcd start

Once you start the node, it will begin syncing with other nodes. It takes some time to sync all blocks.
