Solana Validator Setup

bash -c "$(curl -sSfL "https://solv-storage.validators.solutions/install")"
cd ~ && source ~/.profile
solv setup

When you run the solv setup command, a prompt like the following will appear. Select the network, node type, and either RPC type or validator type.

Example: For an RPC node

Example: For a Validator

For the validator type, you can also set options like commission here.

Once the setup is complete, the snapshot download will automatically begin, and your Solana validator will start 🎊

If the snapshot download doesn't complete, press Ctrl + C to stop, and then run the solv restart --rm command again.

Starting a new Solana validator can take anywhere from several minutes to several hours. You can check the logs using the following command:
