sudo apt-get -y update
sudo /bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.1 bs=1M count=4096
sudo /sbin/mkswap /var/swap.1
sudo /sbin/swapon /var/swap.1

then add this line of code in to your /etc/fstab:

 echo "/var/swap.1 swap swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab 

check swipe size

sudo swapon --show

Installing Prysm with prysm.sh

mkdir prysm && cd prysm
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/master/prysm.sh --output prysm.sh && chmod +x prysm.sh

Running an ETH1 node

sync ETH node can take some time

geth --datadir="$HOME/Mainnet" --http

sync ETH node using background process

mkdir eth_service && cd eth_service
touch geth_eth.service

Add Content To geth_eth.service

[Unit]
Description=Ethereum go client

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/geth --datadir="$HOME/Mainnet" --http
StandardOutput=append:/home/ubuntu/.ethereum/geth.log
StandardError=append:/home/ubuntu/.ethereum/geth.error.log

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Enable service

systemctl --user enable ~/eth_service/geth_eth.service
systemctl --user start geth_eth.service

Check Service Status

systemctl --user status geth_eth.service

You should wait for your node to sync

then connect to your eth1 node with:

cd ~/prysm
./prysm.sh beacon-chain --http-web3provider=$HOME/Mainnet/geth.ipc

this can take time and must keep it running

User Background Service to connect with node

cd ~/eth_service
touch prysm_beacon.service
