### [Recommended] Create a new user <!-- omit in toc -->

You can generally do everything as the `root` user, but it's recommended to
create a new user and give it sudo permissions.

This is necessary, in particular, if you want to use [homebrew](https://brew.sh/) [to install `poktrolld`](../user_guide/install.md).

```bash
# Create a new user and give sudo permissions
export USERNAME=olshansky
sudo adduser $USERNAME
sudo usermod -aG sudo $USERNAME
```

Then, switch to the new user:
You can create a new user (e.g. poktroll), provide sudo permissions and switch users like so:

```bash
su - olshansky
sudo adduser poktroll

```

You can also avoid needing to pass in the password each time by running the following:

### Introduction

This guide will help you install a Full Node for Pocket Network,
**using helper that abstract out some of the underlying complexity.**

Running a Full Node is the first step toward becoming a Validator, Supplier, or Gateway.

### Pre-Requisites

1. **Linux-based System**: Ensure you have a Debian-based Linux distribution (other distributions may work but are not fully supported).
2. **Root or Sudo Access**: You need administrative privileges to run the installation script.
3. **Dedicated Server or Virtual Machine**: Any provider should work (Vultr and Hetzner have been tested).

- **Choose the Network**: Select `testnet-alpha`, `testnet-beta`, or `mainnet`.

- **Set Node Moniker**: Input the node moniker (default: your hostname).
- **Set Node Moniker**: Input the node moniker (default: your `hostname`).
- **Confirm Seeds and Genesis File**: The script fetches seeds and the genesis file automatically.
- **External IP Address**: The script detects your external IP address. Confirm or input manually if incorrect.

The script will handle the installation of dependencies, user creation, environment variable setup, and configuration of Cosmovisor and `poktrolld`.
#### Automatic Upgrades Out of the Box

### What Gets Installed
Your node is configured to handle chain upgrades automatically through Cosmovisor. No manual intervention is required for standard upgrades.

When you run the installation script, the following components are set up:
When a chain upgrade is proposed and approved:

1. Cosmovisor will download the new binary
2. The node will stop at the designated upgrade height
3. Cosmovisor will switch to the new binary
4. The node will restart automatically

### FAQ & Troubleshooting

See the [FAQ & Troubleshooting section in the Full Node Walkthrough](../run_a_node/full_node_walkthrough.md#faq--troubleshooting)
for examples of useful commands, common debugging instructions and other advanced usage.

### [OPTIONAL] Do you care to know what just happened?

If you're interest in understand what just got installed, keep reading...

1. **System User**: A dedicated user (default: `poktroll`) is created to run the node securely.

2. **Cosmovisor**: A binary manager that handles chain upgrades automatically:

- Location: `/home/poktroll/bin/cosmovisor`
- Purpose: Manages different versions of `poktrolld` and handles chain upgrades
- Configuration: Set up to automatically download and switch to new binaries during upgrades

3. **Poktrolld**: The core node software:

- Location: `/home/poktroll/.poktroll/cosmovisor/genesis/bin/poktrolld`
- Configuration: `/home/poktroll/.poktroll/config/`
- Data: `/home/poktroll/.poktroll/data/`

### Useful Commands

After installation, you can manage your node using the following commands:

#### Check the status of your node

```bash
sudo systemctl status cosmovisor.service
```

#### View the logs

```bash
sudo journalctl -u cosmovisor.service -f
```

#### Stop the node

```bash
sudo systemctl stop cosmovisor.service
```

#### Start the node

```bash
sudo systemctl start cosmovisor.service
```

#### Restart the node

```bash
sudo systemctl restart cosmovisor.service
```

#### Advanced Operations

Check the current version:
```bash
sudo -u poktroll poktrolld version
```

View the Cosmovisor directory structure:
```bash
ls -la /home/poktroll/.poktroll/cosmovisor/
```

Check if an upgrade is available:
```bash
ls -la /home/poktroll/.poktroll/cosmovisor/upgrades/
```

View node configuration:
```bash
cat /home/poktroll/.poktroll/config/config.toml
```

### Automatic Upgrades

Your node is configured to handle chain upgrades automatically through Cosmovisor. When a chain upgrade is proposed and approved:

1. Cosmovisor will download the new binary
2. The node will stop at the designated upgrade height
3. Cosmovisor will switch to the new binary
4. The node will restart automatically

No manual intervention is required for standard upgrades.
