## Step 1: Set up your Avail Node
### Option 1 (automatic)
You can setup your avail validator in few minutes by using automated script below. It will prompt you to input your validator node name!
```
wget -O avail-auto.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bangyan1997/Yanz_Stake/main/Avail/avail-auto.sh && chmod +x avail-auto.sh && ./avail-auto.sh
```

Option 2 (manual)

Setting up vars

Here you have to put name of your node name (validator) that will be visible in explorer

NODENAME=<YOUR_NODE_NAME_GOES_HERE>

Save and import variables into system

AVAIL_PORT=30333
echo "export NODENAME=$NODENAME" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo "export AVAIL_PORT=${AVAIL_PORT}" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile

Before you can become an active validator, you need to bond your funds to your node.

• Stake your validator: https://docs.availproject.org/operate/validator/staking

Step 2: Create wallet and Set Identity
