Install & Run

Steps every full node operator follows, regardless of role. Work through them in order:

1. 🖥️ Server Setup: provision a host meeting the requirements.
2. ⚙️ Hub Setup: install the Go toolchain, open the gossip port, and build the sentinelhub binary (skip if using Docker).
3. 🔧 Hub Configuration: load the genesis file and edit config.toml / app.toml. This is where the node specializes for Validator or RPC/API.
4. 🧩 System Unit File: choose between sentinelhub.service and cosmovisor.service and enable it.
5. ▶️ Run the Full Node: start the daemon and verify sync.
6. 🐳 Docker: alternative install method if you prefer containers.
7. Chain Upgrade: how to handle binary upgrades.

Once your node is synced, branch into your role:

• ✅ Validate
• 🌐 Set Up Public RPC/API
• 🔗 IBC Relayers
