Download the Livepeer binary

sudo wget https://github.com/livepeer/go-livepeer/releases/download/<RELEASE_VERSION>/livepeer-linux-amd64.tar.gz
Unpack and remove the compressed file 
sudo tar -zxvf livepeer-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo rm livepeer-linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv livepeer-linux-amd64/* /usr/local/bin/

​
Generate a new keystore file

/usr/local/bin/livepeer -network arbitrum-one-mainnet -ethUrl <ARBITRUM RPC URL> -gateway
exit
When generating a new keystore file, the program will prompt you for a password. This password is used to decrypt the keystore file and access the private key. Make sure to never share or lose access to either the password or the keystore file

​
Create a file containing your Gateway Ethereum password

sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin/lptConfig
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/lptConfig/node.txt
Enter your password and save the file

​

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/livepeer.service
