# Joining a Testnet
|
|
|
|
This document outlines the steps to join an existing testnet
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
1. [Install](./../quickstart/installation) the Ethermint binary `ethermintd`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go install https://github.com/tharsis/ethermint
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Create an Ethermint [account](./../basics/accounts)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ethermintd keys add <keyname> --keyring-backend=test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Copy genesis file
|
|
|
|
Follow this [link](https://gist.github.com/araskachoi/43f86f3edff23729b817e8b0bb86295a) and copy it over to the directory `~/.ethermintd/config/genesis.json`
|
|
|
|
4. Add peers
|
|
|
|
Edit the file located in `~/.ethermintd/config/config.toml` and the `persistent_peers` to the following:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
"05aa6587f07a0c6a9a8213f0138c4a76d476418a@18.204.206.179:26656,13d4a1c16d1f427988b7c499b6d150726aaf3aa0@3.86.104.251:26656,a00db749fa51e485c8376276d29d599258052f3e@54.210.246.165:26656"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Validate genesis and start the Ethermint network
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ethermintd validate-genesis
|
|
|
|
ethermintd start --pruning=nothing --rpc.unsafe --log_level "main:info,state:info,mempool:info"
|
|
```
