#Download the Go programming language distribution archive

wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.21.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz

#Extract it to the /usr/local directory and install Go v1.21.6 on the system

sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.21.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz

#add the Go executable path to your system's PATH environment variable, 

echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

#test to ensure that Go is working correctly

go version
### Setup the Geth client to run Linea 
git clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum.git

cd go-ethereum

#Reportedly most stable version to run Linea node 1.13.4-stable-3f907d6a

git checkout v1.13.15
make geth

cd

#Create directory for database

mkdir linea-datadir

cd linea-datadir

#Download Genesis file

wget https://docs.linea.build/files/geth/mainnet/genesis.json

#Bootstrap the node:

cd /root/go-ethereum

./build/bin/geth --datadir /root/linea-datadir/ init /root/linea-datadir/genesis.json
