Step 1: System Requirements

Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for running a validator node. Typically, these include:

• CPU: 2+ cores
• RAM: 8 GB+
• Disk: SSD with at least 100 GB free space
• Operating System: Linux (Ubuntu is commonly recommended)
• Internet: Stable connection (at least 1 Mbps)

Step 2: Install Dependencies

First, update your system and install necessary dependencies:

# Update the package list
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# Install dependencies
sudo apt install -y curl git build-essential make gcc g++ jq wget

Step 3: Install Go (Golang)

Hemi Network may require Go for node setup. Let's install it:

# Download the latest version of Go (check the latest version from <https://golang.org/dl/>)
wget <https://golang.org/dl/go1.20.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz>

# Extract the archive
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xvzf go1.20.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz

# Add Go to your PATH
echo "export PATH=\\\\$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Verify Go installation:

go version

Step 4: Clone Hemi Repository

Now, you need to clone the Hemi repository (or their node software repository) from GitHub:

# Clone the repository
git clone <https://github.com/hemi-network/hemi-node.git>

# Navigate into the directory
cd hemi-node

Step 5: Build the Node

You will likely need to build the node software from the source:
