+# TRUF.NETWORK Quick Installation Guide
+
+This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up a TRUF.NETWORK node on a fresh Ubuntu installation.
+
+## Prerequisites Installation
+
+Run the following commands to install all required dependencies:
+
+```bash
+# 1) Docker Engine & Compose v2 plugin (plus GCC via build-essential)
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release build-essential
+sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
+curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg \
+  | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
+echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] \
+  https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" \
+  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list >/dev/null
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
+
+# 1b) Enable and start Docker
+sudo systemctl enable docker
+sudo systemctl start docker
+
+# 1c) Add your user to the docker group
+sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+
+# 1d) Install PostgreSQL client (includes pg_dump)
+sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-client
+
+# 2) Install Go (required for building kwild)
+LATEST_GO_VERSION=$(curl -sSL https://go.dev/VERSION?m=text | head -n1)
+echo "Installing ${LATEST_GO_VERSION}..."
+curl -fsSL "https://go.dev/dl/${LATEST_GO_VERSION}.linux-amd64.tar.gz" \
+  -o "${LATEST_GO_VERSION}.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
+sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
+sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "${LATEST_GO_VERSION}.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
+rm "${LATEST_GO_VERSION}.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
+
+# 2b) Add Go to PATH
+grep -qxF 'export GOPATH=$HOME/go' ~/.bashrc \
+  || echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/go' >> ~/.bashrc
+grep -qxF 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin' ~/.bashrc \
+  || echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
+
+# 3) Reload your shell
+source ~/.bashrc
+
+# 4) Install Taskfile (go-task)
+go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest
+
+# 5) Clone the node repository and build kwild
+git clone https://github.com/trufnetwork/node.git
+cd node
+task build
+
+# 6) Add the built kwild binary to PATH
+sudo cp .build/kwild /usr/local/bin/
+sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/kwild
+
+# 7) Apply new docker group immediately
+newgrp docker
+```
+
+## Verify Installation
+
+Verify that everything is installed correctly:
+
+```bash
+docker --version
+docker compose version
+pg_dump --version
+go version
+task --version
+kwild version
+```
+
+## Node Setup
+
+Now that you have all prerequisites installed, follow these steps to set up your node:
+
+```bash
+# 1) Go to home directory
+cd
+
+# 2) Clone the TRUF.NETWORK node operator repository
+git clone https://github.com/trufnetwork/truf-node-operator.git
+cd truf-node-operator
+
+# 3) Generate initial configuration
+kwild setup init \
+  --genesis ./configs/network/v2/genesis.json \
+  --root ./my-node-config \
+  --p2p.bootnodes "4e0b5c952be7f26698dc1898ff3696ac30e990f25891aeaf88b0285eab4663e1#ed25519@node-1.mainnet.truf.network:26656,0c830b69790eaa09315826403c2008edc65b5c7132be9d4b7b4da825c2a166ae#ed25519@node-2.mainnet.truf.network:26656"
+
+# 4) Enable state sync (for faster synchronization)
+sed -i '/\[state_sync\]/,/^\[/ s/enable = false/enable = true/' ./my-node-config/config.toml
+sed -i 's/trusted_providers = \[\]/trusted_providers = ["0c830b69790eaa09315826403c2008edc65b5c7132be9d4b7b4da825c2a166ae#ed25519@node-2.mainnet.truf.network:26656"]/' ./my-node-config/config.toml
+
+# 5) Set up PostgreSQL using Docker
+docker run -d -p 5432:5432 --name tn-postgres \
+    -e "POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust" \
+    -v tn-pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
+    --shm-size=1gb \
+    kwildb/postgres:latest
+
+# 5b) Wait for PostgreSQL to initialize
+echo "Waiting for PostgreSQL to initialize..."
+sleep 10
+
+# 6) Create systemd service for kwild
+sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/kwild.service << EOF
+[Unit]
+Description=TRUF.NETWORK Node Service
+After=network.target tn-postgres.service
+Requires=tn-postgres.service
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=$USER
+WorkingDirectory=$(pwd)
+ExecStart=$(which kwild) start -r ./my-node-config
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=10
+LimitNOFILE=65535
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+
+# 7) Create systemd service for PostgreSQL
+sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/tn-postgres.service << EOF
+[Unit]
+Description=TRUF.NETWORK PostgreSQL Service
+After=docker.service
+Requires=docker.service
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple

+ExecStart=docker start -a tn-postgres
+ExecStop=docker stop tn-postgres
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=10
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+
+# 8) Enable and start services
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable tn-postgres
+sudo systemctl enable kwild
+sudo systemctl start tn-postgres
+sudo systemctl start kwild
+
+# 9) Check service status
+echo "Checking service status..."
+sudo systemctl status kwild
+```
+
+## Check Node Status
+
+To check if your node is running properly:
+
+```bash
+# Check service status
+sudo systemctl status kwild
+
+# Check node status
+kwild admin status
+```
+
+Your node is fully synced when you see `syncing: false` and your `best_block_height` is close to the current network height.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter any issues:
+
+1. Check service status: `sudo systemctl status kwild`
+2. Watch logs in real-time: `sudo journalctl -u kwild -f`
+   - Press `Ctrl+C` to stop watching
+3. Check Docker container status: `docker ps`
+4. Check PostgreSQL logs: `docker logs tn-postgres`
+
+### Common Commands
+
+```bash
+# Watch kwild logs in real-time
+sudo journalctl -u kwild -f
+
+# Watch last 100 lines of logs
+sudo journalctl -u kwild -n 100
+
+# Watch logs since last boot
+sudo journalctl -u kwild -b
+
+# Watch logs with timestamps
+sudo journalctl -u kwild -f --output=short-precise
+```
+
+For more detailed configuration options and validator setup, refer to the main [README.md](../README.md).

+This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up a TRUF.NETWORK node on a fresh server instance. While the commands are written for Ubuntu, they can be adapted for other Linux distributions with minimal changes.
+
+> **Note**: This guide uses Ubuntu-specific package managers (`apt-get`) and paths. If you're using a different Linux distribution:
+> - Replace `apt-get` with your distribution's package manager (e.g., `yum` for RHEL/CentOS, `dnf` for Fedora)
+> - Adjust package names if they differ in your distribution
+> - The core concepts and steps remain the same
