Step 1: Install Go

Installing Go is a pre-requisite for running a dYmension full node. If you still need to install Go on your system, head to the Go download and install page.

Step 2: Install binaries

Clone dymension:

git clone https://github.com/dymensionxyz/dymension.git
cd dymension
make install

Check that the dymd binaries have been successfully installed:

dymd version

If the dymd command is not found an error message is returned, confirm that your GOPATH is correctly configured by running the following command:

export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

Step 3: Initializing dymd

Occasionally you may need to perform a comlpete reset of your node due to data corruption or misconfiguration. Resetting will remove all data in ~/.dymension/data and the addressbook in ~/.dymension/config/addrbook.json and reset the node to genesis state.

Perform a complete reset of your dymd:

  dymd tendermint unsafe-reset-all

Set the following variables:

export CHAIN_ID="local-testnet"
export KEY_NAME="local-user"
export MONIKER_NAME="local"

When starting a node you need to initialize a chain with a user:

  dymd init "$MONIKER_NAME" --chain-id "$CHAIN_ID"
  dymd keys add "$KEY_NAME" --keyring-backend test
  dymd add-genesis-account "$(dymd keys show "$KEY_NAME" -a --keyring-backend test)" 100000000000stake
  dymd gentx "$KEY_NAME" 100000000stake --chain-id "$CHAIN_ID" --keyring-backend test
  dymd collect-gentxs

Now start the chain!

dymd start

You should have a running local node! Let's run a sample transaction.

Keep the node running and open a new tab in the terminal. Let's get your validator consensus address.

Step 4: Running a transaction

dymd tendermint show-address

This returns an address with the prefix "dymvalcons" or the Dymension validator consensus address.
