# Installation

## Run Validator

In this step you're running a node validator on Goracle Mainnet, make sure you have enough ALGO to participate.

### Install Goracle Binary

First step to install goracle node mainnet is you need to download the binary.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
cd $HOME
sudo wget goracle https://download.goracle.io/1.1.13/linux/goracle && sudo chmod u+x goracle
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Don't worry about no result after running that command.
{% endhint %}

### Setup Your Node

In this step you need to setup your node with all requirement needed to run goracle node. Make sure your Algorand Node is running with **same machine** Or if you're using Algonode/Purestake API, you can answer yes if you get the question about API service.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This tutorial is using own algorand node. Make sure your Algorand Node is fully synced.
{% endhint %}

If you want to run goracle node using own algorand node, you can do by the following command below.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
./goracle init
```

{% endcode %}

* Continue? \[y/N]? **y**
* Use Algonode Algorand API service (recommended)? \[Y/n]? **n**
* Use a Purestake account for Algorand API service? \[y/N]? **n**
* Enter full Algorand node API URL (e.g. <http://example.com:4001>): **<http://127.0.0.1:8080>**

{% hint style="danger" %}
Don't forget to add **http\://** in the beginning of your server ip. example **<http://127.0.0.1:8080>** . Don't put the server like this **127.0.0.1:8080** . Make sure your port is same as from the **algod.net** output.
{% endhint %}

* Enter Algorand API auth token, or press enter for default: **yourtoken**

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you confuse how to get API URL and auth token, you can follow this link below.
{% endhint %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/oHt9jmDWGBvwUbk3oEJg" %}
[Find Server and Token](/mainnet/algorand/find-server-and-token.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

* Enter your main Algorand account address: **yourmainaddress** (From validator dashboard)

Next step is register your participation address and you'll get the link after put your main address.

* Register your participation address and sign the transaction.
* After the transaction is done, now you back to the machine and press enter.
* Done your node account already setup and next step is run your goracle node.

### Run Goracle Node

Before run your goracle node, make sure your machine is already install the **docker.io**. *If not*, you can use this following command to install.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ttimmatti/dependencies/main/docker.sh)
```

{% endcode %}

After installation complete, next step is run your goracle node using docker.

<pre data-overflow="wrap"><code><strong>./goracle docker-start --background
</strong></code></pre>

Check your goracle node logs using this command.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
docker logs -f goracle-nr
```

{% endcode %}

If your node setup correctly, you'll see the logs like this.

Now your node is ready to vote in goracle node.
