+
+### Pre-Requisites
+
+1. **Linux-based System**: Ensure you have a Debian-based Linux distribution (other distributions may work but are not fully supported).
+2. **Root or Sudo Access**: You need administrative privileges to run the installation script.
+3. **Dedicated Server or Virtual Machine**: Any provider should work (Vultr and Hetzner have been tested).
+
+### Install a Full Node using Cosmovisor
+
+To install and set up a Full Node, follow these steps:
+
+1. **Download the Installation Script**:
+
+   ```bash
+   curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pokt-network/poktroll/main/tools/installer/full-node.sh
+   ```
+
+2. **Run the Script with Sudo Privileges**:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo bash full-node.sh
+   ```
+
+3. **Follow the Prompts**:
+
+   - **Choose the Network**: Select `testnet-alpha`, `testnet-beta`, or `mainnet`.
+   - **Set Username**: Input the desired username to run `poktrolld` (default: `poktroll`).
+   - **Set Node Moniker**: Input the node moniker (default: your hostname).
+   - **Confirm Seeds and Genesis File**: The script fetches seeds and the genesis file automatically.
+   - **External IP Address**: The script detects your external IP address. Confirm or input manually if incorrect.
+
+The script will handle the installation of dependencies, user creation, environment variable setup, and configuration of Cosmovisor and `poktrolld`.
+
+### What Gets Installed
+
+When you run the installation script, the following components are set up:
+
+1. **System User**: A dedicated user (default: `poktroll`) is created to run the node securely.
+
+2. **Cosmovisor**: A binary manager that handles chain upgrades automatically:
+   - Location: `/home/poktroll/bin/cosmovisor`
+   - Purpose: Manages different versions of `poktrolld` and handles chain upgrades
+   - Configuration: Set up to automatically download and switch to new binaries during upgrades
+
+3. **Poktrolld**: The core node software:
+   - Location: `/home/poktroll/.poktroll/cosmovisor/genesis/bin/poktrolld`
+   - Configuration: `/home/poktroll/.poktroll/config/`
+   - Data: `/home/poktroll/.poktroll/data/`
+
+4. **Systemd Service**: A service that manages the node:
+   - Name: `cosmovisor.service`
+   - Status: Enabled and started automatically
+   - Configured for automatic restarts and upgrades
+
+### Useful Commands
+
+After installation, you can manage your node using the following commands:
+
+#### Check the status of your node
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl status cosmovisor.service
+```
+
+#### View the logs
+
+```bash
+sudo journalctl -u cosmovisor.service -f
+```
+
+#### Stop the node
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl stop cosmovisor.service
+```
+
+#### Start the node
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl start cosmovisor.service
+```
+
+#### Restart the node
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart cosmovisor.service
+```
+
+#### Advanced Operations
+
+Check the current version:
+```bash
+sudo -u poktroll poktrolld version
+```
+
+View the Cosmovisor directory structure:
+```bash
+ls -la /home/poktroll/.poktroll/cosmovisor/
+```
+
+Check if an upgrade is available:
+```bash
+ls -la /home/poktroll/.poktroll/cosmovisor/upgrades/
+```
+
+View node configuration:
+```bash
+cat /home/poktroll/.poktroll/config/config.toml
+```
+
+### Automatic Upgrades
+
+Your node is configured to handle chain upgrades automatically through Cosmovisor. When a chain upgrade is proposed and approved:
+
+1. Cosmovisor will download the new binary
+2. The node will stop at the designated upgrade height
+3. Cosmovisor will switch to the new binary
+4. The node will restart automatically
+
+No manual intervention is required for standard upgrades.
