# Experiments in Celestia ### Lite Node Install Notes Fresh install of Ubuntu 22 I decided to start with a lite node because they said in DC that there are too many validators right now. So I followed this guide: https://docs.celestia.org/nodes/light-node I had two errors which I resolved like this: ``` install: cannot remove '/usr/local/bin/celestia': Permission denied make: *** [Makefile:47: install] Error 1 ``` 1) I had to use `sudo make install` The there was a go not found with sudo so... 2) I had to [manually add](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71899341/go-command-not-found-error-when-using-sudo) go to sudo path as Go was not found with sudo. ``` zk@venus:~/celestia-node$ go version go version go1.19.1 linux/amd64 ``` ``` zk@venus:~/celestia-node$ celestia version Semantic version: v0.4.2 Commit: 75b122f736d0db758ef840a4bf3b2e6635e823bd Build Date: Fri Nov 4 08:38:43 PM UTC 2022 System version: amd64/linux Golang version: go1.19.1 ``` ## Lite Client Commands List Keys: `./cel-key list --node.type light --keyring-backend test` Hitting that RPC endpoint: `curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:26658/balance | jq '.'` `curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:26658/header/1 | jq '.'` ^^ [From PayForData Tut](https://docs.celestia.org/developers/node-tutorial/)
