Install with Cosmovisor

ADVANCED ROUTE

Cosmosvisor is a process manager for Cosmos SDK application binaries that monitors the governance module for incoming chain upgrade proposals. If a proposal is approved, cosmosvisor can automatically download the new binary, stop the current one, switch to the new binary, and restart the node with the new binary.

Download and build binaries

Clone DoraVota repo and build dorad v0.4.2

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/DoraFactory/doravota.git
cd doravota
git checkout v0.4.2

Build binaries

make install

Prepare binaries for Cosmovisor

cd $HOME
mkdir -p ~/.dorad/cosmovisor/upgrades/v0.4.2/bin
mv $HOME/go/bin/dorad ~/.dorad/cosmovisor/upgrades/v0.4.2/bin/

Create symlinks

sudo ln -s ~/.dorad/cosmovisor/genesis ~/.dorad/cosmovisor/current -f
sudo ln -s ~/.dorad/cosmovisor/current/bin/dorad /usr/local/bin/dorad -f
