eval $(echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin' | tee -a $HOME/.profile)

Download and build binaries

# Clone project repository
cd $HOME
rm -rf juno
git clone https://github.com/CosmosContracts/juno juno
cd juno
git checkout v22.0.0

# Build binaries
make install

# Prepare binaries for Cosmovisor
mkdir -p $HOME/.juno/cosmovisor/genesis/bin
mv ~/go/bin/junod $HOME/.juno/cosmovisor/genesis/bin/
