Install the software

⚠️ If you already have an existing Tezos installation, do not forget to backup and delete your ~/.tezos-node and ~/.tezos-client.

Alternative: Use docker

To join Quebecanet with docker, open a shell in the container:

docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/sh tezos/tezos:octez-v21.0-rc1

Alternative: Build the software

⚠️ If this is your first time installing Tezos, you may need to install a few dependencies.

cd
git clone git@gitlab.com:tezos/tezos.git
cd tezos
git checkout octez-v21.0-rc1
opam init # if this is your first time using OPAM
make build-deps
eval $(opam env)
make
export PATH=$HOME/tezos:$PATH

Join the Quebecanet network

Run the following commands:

octez-node config init --network https://teztnets.com/quebecanet

octez-node run --rpc-addr 127.0.0.1:8732

Bake on the Quebecanet network

To improve reliability of the chain, you can take part in the consensus by becoming a baker. In that case, you will need some test tokens from the faucet.

If you are not a bootstrap baker, you need to register your key as a delegate using your alias or pkh. For instance:

octez-client register key mykey as delegate

On a modern Tezos network, you will need to stake to declare your security bond. You will need to have access to at least 6000tz of stake to get baking rights. For instance:

octez-client stake <amount> for mykey

You may now launch the baker process.

octez-baker-PsquebeC run with local node ~/.tezos-node mykey --liquidity-baking-toggle-vote pass

You may run the accuser as well:

octez-accuser-PsquebeC run

Note that you need a minimum amount of tez to get baking rights. If you are not a bootstrap baker, it will take you several cycles to start baking.

💡 Now that you are baking, you are responsible for the network health. Please ensure that the baking processes will keep running in the background. You may want to use screen, tmux, nohup or systemd. Also make sure that the baking processes will restart when your machine restarts.
