Unigrid Testnet Setup

Automated Setup Using Script (recommended)

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have wget, curl, and systemd installed on your system.
• git is required if you plan to download the latest version of paxd from the repository.

Running the Script

To connect to the Unigrid testnet automatically, run the following command in your terminal:

Before running the script its recommened to upgrade the server.

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

wget -4qO i.py raw.githubusercontent.com/unigrid-project/unigrid-cosmos-networks/master/unigrid-testnet-5/scripts/i.py && python3 i.py

If the above command does not work for you, follow these instructions.

wget -4qO i.py raw.githubusercontent.com/unigrid-project/unigrid-cosmos-networks/master/unigrid-testnet-5/scripts/i.py
# Run the script with Python 3
python3 i.py

This script will:

• Stop the existing paxd service (if it exists).
• Clear existing data and log files.
• Download and verify the genesis.json file.
• Download and set up the paxd binary.
• Set up and start the paxd service.

Note: The script will tail the paxd log file at the end. You can exit the log view by pressing Ctrl+C and access it again anytime with the command tail -f ~/.pax/paxd.log.
