Setting Up Your Node Environment

To successfully install, upgrade, and manage your node, you'll need to make certain configurations. These involve defining a specific user account, installation directory, and network environment on your system. Let's break down these terms:

• CUSTOM_USER: The username on your computer that will be used for running the installation and other related processes.

• CUSTOM_HOME: The directory where your node will be installed.

• ENVIRONMENT: Specifies the OneFinity network you intend to connect to. This can be mainnet, testnet, or devnet.

Before proceeding, you'll need to update the variables.cfg file to include the necessary details, primarily your username. Here's how to find and set it:

Finding Your Username

Your system's username is crucial for the setup. If you're uncertain of your username, you can quickly find it by executing the following command in your terminal:

whoami

This command will display your current username. Remember to accurately record this as it will be crucial for the script configurations to function properly, this will be your CUSTOM_USER.

Configuring the Script

After obtaining your username, open variables.cfg and update the placeholders (CUSTOM_USER, CUSTOM_HOME, ENVIRONMENT) with your actual user information. This is crucial for your node's functionality.

To open the variables.cfg file in the nano editor, use the following command:

nano variables.cfg

cd ~/of-chain-scripts/config
nano variables.cfg

Change the variables ENVIRONMENT, CUSTOM_HOME and CUSTOM_USER as highlighted in the image below:

Grants elevated privileges

To enable sudo commands for your user without requiring a password, follow these steps:

1. Open Terminal.

2. Type sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/myOverrides and press Enter. This will allow you to edit the sudoers file securely.

3. Once the file is open in the editor, navigate to the end by pressing Shift + G.

4. Press o to start a new line. Then, enter the following line, replacing yourusername with your actual username (you can find your username by running whoami):

   yourusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

5. To save and exit, press Esc, then Shift + ZZ (hold down Shift and press Z twice).

This configuration will enable your user to execute sudo commands without prompting for a password. Ensure you replace yourusername with the correct username. Proceed with caution, as this operation grants elevated privileges.
