Prerequisites

Install Node.js: Ensure you have Node.js installed on your system. You can download it from the official Node.js website. It's recommended to use a version manager like nvm to manage Node.js versions easily.

# Install nvm (Node Version Manager)
curl -o- <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh> | bash
source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

# Install the latest LTS version of Node.js
nvm install --lts

Install Git: Ensure Git is installed on your system. You can install it using a package manager.
```
# For Debian/Ubuntu-based systems
sudo apt-get install git

# For macOS
brew install git
```

Cloning the XFIScan Repository

Clone the XFIScan repository from GitHub.

git clone <https://github.com/xfiscan/xfiscan.git>
cd xfiscan

Installing Dependencies

Install the required dependencies using npm.
```
npm install
```

Configuring the Node

Configuration File: The main configuration is typically located in the ~/.crossfid/config/app.toml file. You need to configure the API and gRPC settings if required.
```
[api]
enable = true
address = "tcp://0.0.0.0:1317"

[grpc]
enable = true
address = "0.0.0.0:9090"
```
State Sync Configuration: Enable state sync by modifying ~/.crossfid/config/config.toml.
```
[statesync]
enable = true
trust_height = <RECENT_BLOCK_HEIGHT>
trust_hash = "<RECENT_BLOCK_HASH>"
rpc_servers = "<http://rpc1.example.com:26657>,<http://rpc2.example.com:26657>"
```
Replace <RECENT_BLOCK_HEIGHT> and <RECENT_BLOCK_HASH> with appropriate values from a trusted block explorer.

Starting the Node

Start the Node: Use the following command to start the node.
```
crossfid start --x-crisis-skip-assert-invariants
```
This command will start your node and begin syncing with the network.

Monitoring and Maintenance

Logs: Monitor the logs to ensure your node is syncing properly.
```
tail -f ~/.crossfid/logs/crossfid.log
```
Updating the Node: Regularly update your node to the latest version by pulling the latest changes from the repository and reinstalling dependencies.
```
git pull
npm install
```

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully set up and run a node for the XFIScan project. For more detailed instructions and troubleshooting, refer to the official documentation and Node.js documentation.
