1. Run the following command to update and upgrade system packages:

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y

2. Install the required packages:

sudo apt install htop ca-certificates zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev tmux iptables curl nvme-cli git wget make jq libleveldb-dev build-essential pkg-config ncdu tar clang bsdmainutils lsb-release libssl-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev jq gcc screen unzip lz4 -y

3. Install Docker :

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io -y
docker version

4. Install Docker Compose :

VER=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)
curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$VER/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
docker-compose --version

4. Docker User Permissions

sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

1. Clone Github Repository

git clone https://github.com/Abstract-Foundation/abstract-node

2. Move To Abstract Directory

cd abstract-node/external-node

3. Start the node

docker compose --file testnet-external-node.yml up -d

4. Check the logs

docker logs -f --tail=0 <container name>

• testnet-node-external-node-1
• testnet-node-postgres-1
• testnet-node-prometheus-1
• testnet-node-grafana-1

5. Save your private key

cd configs
cat testnet_consensus_secrets.yaml
