galacticad config chain-id galactica_9301-1
galacticad init "Your_nodename" --chain-id galactica_9301-1
```

Download Genesis and Addrbook

```
wget -O addrbook.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Validator247/Galactica-Network/main/addrbook.json
wget -O genesis.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Validator247/Galactica-Network/main/genesis.json
```

Configure Pruning, Minimum Gas Price, Prometheus, and Indexing

```
sed -i -e "s/^pruning *=.*/pruning = \"custom\"/" $HOME/.galactica/config/app.toml

sed -i -e "s/prometheus = false/prometheus = true/" $HOME/.galactica/config/config.toml
sed -i -e "s/^indexer *=.*/indexer = \"null\"/" $HOME/.galactica/config/config.toml
```

Create Systemd Service

```
    sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/galacticad.service > /dev/null <<EOF
    [Unit]
    Description=Galactica node
    After=network-online.target
    [Service]
