Hi Guys
Am trying to start the node but receive the error: Aeson exception: Error in $: Missing required field, either ByronGenesisFile or GenesisFile

If u will start from 0 u can try my guide

For testnet u will need to run:

./prereqs.sh -n
  • for STEP 2
git checkout 1.29.0

And DO NOT run (skip it)

git pull origin maste
