{% hint style="info" %}
The steps shown here are tested on Ubuntu 24.04, different distributions may need adjustments to the commands.
All commands are meant to be run as root user, if not specified otherwise. Depending on the server installation, they may need to be run from a different user via sudo.

Install all packages needed for running and configuring the THORNode container
apt install -y --no-install-recommends aria2 curl docker.io jq pvPrepare work directory
mkdir -p /opt/thornode/.thornode/configFor joining the network, the correct genesis file is required
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/public-snapshots-ninerealms/genesis/17562000.json -o /opt/thornode/.thornode/config/genesis.jsonThe fastest way to join the network is by downloading a current snapshot and sync from it.
# get latest snapshot
