#### Install Cosmovisor and create a service <a href="#install-cosmovisor-and-create-a-service" id="install-cosmovisor-and-create-a-service"></a>

```
# Download and install Cosmovisor
go install cosmossdk.io/tools/cosmovisor/cmd/cosmovisor@v1.6.0

### Auto Installation

```
bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CoinHuntersTR/props/main/AutoInstall/union.sh)
```

### Sync Node

> Node ağ ile eşleşmiş olması gerekiyor. Bunun için &#x20;
>
> ```
> uniond status 2>&1 | jq
> ```
>
> komutunu çalıştırdığınızda `false` çıktısı vermesi gerekir. `True` çıktı alırsanız aşağıdaki adımlara devam etmeyin.

### Run a Validator

```
cd $HOME
```

> İlk önce Pubkeyimizi alıyoruz.

```
uniond comet show-validator
```

`{"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"0LuMdRNJpWGiH+b+................"}` buna benzer bir çıktı alacaksınız.

> Sonrasında validator json dosyası açıyoruz.

> Aşağıdaki dosyayı kendinize göre düzenlemeyi unutmayın. Validator ismi, site linkleri vs.

```
cat << EOF > ~/.union/config/validator.json
{
	"pubkey": {"@type":"/cosmos.crypto.ed25519.PubKey","key":"BCDw/cq+7VxwNU/UIDc08JaYXru0Wa8SPoamzYSHfY8="},

	"commission-rate": "0.1",
	"commission-max-rate": "0.2",
	"commission-max-change-rate": "0.01",
	"min-self-delegation": "1"
}
EOF
```

> terminale yapıştırdıktan sonra, CTRL X Y enter ile çıkıyoruz.
>
> Şimdi tekrardan node restart atalım

```
sudo systemctl start union-testnet.service && sudo journalctl -u union-testnet.service -f --no-hostname -o cat
```

> Şimdi aşağıdaki komutu çalıştırıyoruz. `wallet` yerine kendi cüzdan isminizi yazmayı unutmayın. Terminale cüzdan kurmak için `Useful Commands` bölümüne bakabilirsiniz.
>
> İlk olarak aşağıdaki komutları çalıştırıyoruz.

```
export PRIV_KEY=$(jq -r '.priv_key.value' ~/.union/config/priv_validator_key.json)
export POSSESSION_PROOF=$(uniond prove-possession "$PRIV_KEY")
```

```
uniond union-staking create-union-validator /root/.union/config/validator.json $POSSESSION_PROOF \
  --from wallet \
  --chain-id union-testnet-9 \
  --fees 0muno 
```

Sonrasında validator create komutunu çalışıtıryoruz.&#x20;
