cd $HOME && \\
ver="1.22.0" && \\
wget "<https://golang.org/dl/go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz>" && \\
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go && \\
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz" && \\
rm "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz" && \\
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile && \\

3. Install 0gchaind via CLI

git clone -b v0.2.3 <https://github.com/0glabs/0g-chain.git>
./0g-chain/networks/testnet/install.sh
source ~/.profile

4. Set Chain ID

You can find the current Chain ID here

0gchaind config chain-id zgtendermint_16600-2

5. Initialize Node

We need to initialize the node to create all the necessary validator and node configuration files:

0gchaind init <your_validator_name> --chain-id zgtendermint_16600-2

Note: the validator name can only contain ASCII characters.
