Step 1: Set up your Avail Node
Here you have to put name of your node name (validator) that will be visible in explorer
NODENAME=<YOUR_NODE_NAME_GOES_HERE>
Save and import variables into system
AVAIL_PORT=30333
echo "export NODENAME=$NODENAME" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export AVAIL_PORT=${AVAIL_PORT}" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
Update system and install dependencies
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install curl tar wget clang pkg-config protobuf-compiler libssl-dev jq build-essential protobuf-compiler bsdmainutils git make ncdu gcc git jq chrony liblz4-tool -y
Install Rust
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source ~/.cargo/env
rustup default stable
rustup update
rustup update nightly
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly
Download and build binaries
git clone https://github.com/availproject/avail.git
cd avail
mkdir -p data
git checkout v1.8.0.0
cargo build --release -p data-avail
sudo cp $HOME/avail/target/release/data-avail /usr/local/bin
Create a service
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/availd.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Avail Validator
After=network-online.target
[Service]

ExecStart=$(which data-avail) -d `pwd`/data --chain goldberg --validator --name $NODENAME
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3

EOF
Start service and check the logs
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable availd
sudo systemctl restart availd && sudo journalctl -u availd -f -o cat
Before you can become an active validator, you need to bond your funds to your node.
