Zond Init

It's not recommended to install things without reading it, so fist make sure you read the init.sh file.

1. Install requirements

Ubuntu 20.04

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential

If you have golang installed previously from apt, uninstall it first

sudo apt autoremove golang

Then install the snap version of go

sudo snap install --classic go

And replace shell

exec bash

2. Install/reinstall Zond

It's recommended to use the init script as it's careful not do do things destructively.

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jackalyst/zond-init/main/init.sh)

For those that are installing on an Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 VPS, there's a specific mostly unattended ubuntu install script which also installs the requirements above.

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jackalyst/zond-init/main/ubuntu.sh)

Both will download and install the Zond node (at this time Zond Public Devnet).

A note on the Raspberry Pi

There's a few modifications required to have it work on the Raspberry Pi, which I'm not sure would make for a reliable node on the network so I'm not sharing it at this time.
