Create a folder on your Linux server. Download the installer and run it from that folder. It creates a local .env template if needed. Set your operator private key there, then rerun.
mkdir -p skarn-validator && cd skarn-validator curl -fsSLO https://validator.skarn.network/install.sh sh install.sh
The installer runs the node and a separate read-only status page with Docker. Wallet signatures are made locally. The AI service receives only boolean setup status, never private keys, wallet files or logs.
Open http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:9055 for read-only status. Open TCP port 9651 for node peering.
