// Download the v2.0.0 version
wget "https://green.codeblocklabs.com/testnet/selfchain-v2/selfchaind" -O selfchaind
// change permission

// Only if you need to download the Addrbook, use command below:
curl -Ls https://green.codeblocklabs.com/testnet/selfchain-v2/addrbook.json $HOME/.selfchain/config/addrbook.json

When the nodes already synced and everything's good, request faucet on selfchain discord and create validator.

## Setting Up Services
```
// Create bin folder
mkdir ~/bin
// Copy binary
cp selfchaind ~/bin/
// Change permission
chmod +x ~/bin/selfchaind
// add to path
export PATH="$PATH:/home/username/location_to_bin_folder"
// reload shell configuration
source ~/.bashrc
// test
./selfchaind version --long
```
If test was success, you can now create the services configuration file.
```
# Set Service file
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/selfchaind.service > /dev/null <&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
