Installing Ether One Node

Clone Repo

git clone https://github.com/etheronechain/go-ethereum.git
ls -la
cd go-ethereum/
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install build-essential make git screen unzip curl nginx pkg-config nmap xterm screen tcl -y
make geth

Genesis Block

// Download Genesis block and init blockchain

git clone https://github.com/etheronechain/Genesis.git  

// If go-ethereum is in /home/ubuntu/go-ethereum/

// run this command

./build/bin/geth init /home/ubuntu/go-ethereum/Genesis/genesis.json

Start Geth and Node Sync

// Start geth to sync to nodes/blockchain in the folder /home/ubuntu/go-ethereum/

./build/bin/geth --networkid 4949 --port 30303 --http --http.port 8545 --http.addr <Host IP Address> --http.api personal,eth,net --http.corsdomain '*' --allow-insecure-unlock  --syncmode full

Connect to console to create coinbase account and run other geth commands

// You can connect to geth to check the sync progress and create new coinbase account in another terminal

./build/bin/geth attach /home/ubuntu/.ethereum/geth.ipc

// for example use the commands below

// use this to connect to seed node in console of geth
