    Install binary

    cd $HOME
wget https://8ball.info/8ball.tar.gz
tar -xvf 8ball.tar.gz
rm -rf 8ball.tar.gz

    Prepare Cosmovisor

    mkdir -p $HOME/.8ball/cosmovisor/genesis/bin
mv 8ball $HOME/.8ball/cosmovisor/genesis/bin/
    sudo ln -s $HOME/.8ball/cosmovisor/genesis $HOME/.8ball/cosmovisor/current
sudo ln -s $HOME/.8ball/cosmovisor/current/bin/8ball /usr/local/bin/8ball

    Verify that you’ve installed 8ball successfully

    8ball version

    Install Cosmovisor

    go install cosmossdk.io/tools/cosmovisor/cmd/cosmovisor@v1.4.0

    Config app

    create service file and start node

    Create service file Create a 8ball.service file in the /etc/systemd/system folder with the following code. You can change USER with your Linux user name. You need sudo previlege to do this step.

    sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/8ball.service > /dev/null << EOF
[Unit]
Description=8ball node service
