Mysten Node Deployment

Deploying a Mysten Mainnet Node

Install Dependencies

First we'll install some packages available in the standard repos sudo apt install curl wget git build-essential cmake tzdata ca-certificates libssl-dev pkg-config libclang-dev

Install Rust and Cargo

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

If successful, you should see the below: Rust is installed now. Great!

To get started you may need to restart your current shell. This would reload your PATH environment variable to include Cargo's bin directory ($HOME/.cargo/bin).

To configure your current shell, run: source $HOME/.cargo/env

Next, end your current TTY session and reconnect to reload your profile

Once you've reconnected we'll make sure we're running the latest stable release. (we need to be at or above version 1.60.0) rustup update stable

Download and install the Sui binaries

cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git --branch "devnet" sui

Fork and Clone the Mysten Sui Repo

Navigate to https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui and click on the Fork button in the top-right

Once forked, we'll clone our repo https://github.com/$YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/sui.git

Now, change into the newly downloaded directory. cd sui

Then, set the original repo as a git remote. git remote add upstream https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui

Sync with the remote repo, and checkout the `devnet` branch git fetch upstream && git checkout --track upstream/devnet

Make a copy of the full node config file cp crates/sui-config/data/fullnode-template.yaml fullnode.yaml

Create a hidden directory for your Sui database mkdir ~/.suidb

And lastly, download the genesis state for devnet. curl -fLJO https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui-genesis/raw/main/devnet/genesis.blob

Once we've accomplished the above, we want to update out fullnode.yaml file to make sure that it has the configurations applicable to our environment. The below examples are assuming you followed this document.

• node:* Be sure to update the placeholder variables below.

db-path: "/home/$USERNAME/.suidb"

network-address: "/dns/localhost/tcp/8080/http" metrics-address: "127.0.0.1:9184" json-rpc-address: "$YOUR_LOCAL_IP:9000"

genesis:

 # Update this to the location of where the genesis file is stored
 genesis-file-location: "/home/$USERNAME/sui/genesis.blob"

Now that is all sorted, let's make certain that we're in the sui directory cd ~/sui

And then start our local full node. cargo run --release --bin sui-node -- --config-path /home/$USERNAME/sui/fullnode.yaml
