# Setup Guide

#### **Step 1: Update and install necessary packages**

```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade --yes && \
sudo apt install git build-essential ufw curl jq snapd screen ncdu nano fuse ufw --yes
```

#### **Step 2: Install Go**

```bash
sudo snap install go --classic && \
echo 'export GOPATH="$HOME/go"' >> ~/.profile && \
echo 'export GOBIN="$GOPATH/bin"' >> ~/.profile && \
echo 'export PATH="$GOBIN:$PATH"' >> ~/.profile && \
source ~/.profile && \
go version
```

#### Step 3: Clone repo and compile binary (you can find releases here: [click](https://github.com/humansdotai/humans/releases))

```bash
git clone https://github.com/likecoin/likecoin-chain
cd likecoin-chain
git checkout v4.2.0
make install
```

#### Step 4: Init your keys and download genesis file

```bash
liked init <moniker>
liked keys add <keyname>
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/likecoin/mainnet/master/genesis.json > ~/.liked/config/genesis.json
```

#### Step 5: Set up minimum gas price

```bash
sed -i.bak -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"10000nanolike\"/;" ~/.liked/config/app.toml
```

#### Step 6: Set up pruning (optional)

```
pruning="custom"
pruning_keep_recent="100"
pruning_keep_every="0"
pruning_interval="10"
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"$pruning\"/" $HOME/.liked/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-recent *=.*/pruning-keep-recent = \"$pruning_keep_recent\"/" $HOME/.liked/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-keep-every *=.*/pruning-keep-every = \"$pruning_keep_every\"/" $HOME/.liked/config/app.toml
sed -i -e "s/^pruning-interval *=.*/pruning-interval = \"$pruning_interval\"/" $HOME/.liked/config/app.toml
```

#### Step 7: Set up LikeCoin service

```bash
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/liked.service > /dev/null <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=LikeCoin daemon
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=$USER
ExecStart=$HOME/go/bin/liked start
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3
LimitNOFILE=100000

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
```

#### Step 7: Enable LikeCoin daemon

```bash
sudo systemctl enable liked
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```

### If you want to synchronize your node from the 0 block:

#### Start LikeCoin service and check logs

```bash
sudo systemctl restart liked
sudo journalctl -u liked -f -o cat
```

Or you can quickly synchronize your node through State Sync:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://services.anyvalid.com/archive/likecoin/setup-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
