Quickstart

Three short paths. Pick one.

1. Talk to a public node

No local binary required. Public RPC is https://rpc.terp.network (cosmos.directory is stale — do not use it).

curl -s https://rpc.terp.network/status | jq .result.node_info.network

You should see morocco-1 (mainnet). Public testnet is 120u-1:

curl -s https://testnet-rpc.terp.network/status | jq .result.node_info.network

More queries: API playground and public endpoints.

2. Install terpd with the get script

The supported install path is the script at https://terp.network/get. It downloads a release binary for your platform (Linux/macOS, amd64/arm64) and can run the interactive bootstrap wizard (terpd bootstrap: init, genesis, state-sync, pruning, Cosmovisor, process supervisor).

# Interactive wizard (mainnet by default)
curl -sL https://terp.network/get | bash
 
# Public testnet (120u-1)
curl -sL https://terp.network/get | bash -s -- --network 120u-1
 
# Download the binary only — skip bootstrap
curl -sL https://terp.network/get | bash -s -- --setup-only

Pin a binary version with TERPD_VERSION (the script default is the current release, e.g. 5.2.0):

TERPD_VERSION=5.2.0 curl -sL https://terp.network/get | bash -s -- --setup-only

Verify, then point the client at public RPC:

terpd version
terpd config set client chain-id morocco-1
terpd config set client node https://rpc.terp.network:443
terpd status

Integrity notes for the installer: verify checksums. Build-from-source and Docker: Install.

3. Run your own node

1. Prerequisites
2. Prepare the node — or stay in the get-script wizard
3. Catch up with state sync or a snapshot
4. Keep it running with a process supervisor (systemd, pm2, or Cosmovisor)

Local disposable chains (not public testnet): Local network. Promoting a synced node to a validator: validator setup.
