Here are the steps for upgrading to Cardano node version 8.0.0 from 1.35.x

Step1:- Download and install new branch of libsodium

cd ~/git

mv libsodium libsodium_old

git clone GitHub - input-output-hk/libsodium: A modern, portable, easy to use crypto library.

cd libsodium

git checkout dbb48cc

./autogen.sh

./configure

make

make check

sudo make install

Step2:- Download latest version of Alex script in $CNODE_HOME/script (or your specific dir) directory. Take the backup of existing software_upgrade.sh and rename the newly created file software_upgrade.sh.1 to software_upgrade.sh.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alexd1985/node_software_upgrade_script/main/software_upgrade.sh

Step3:- Run the software_upgrade.sh script from $CNODE_HOME/scripts (or your specific dir) directory. Ensure to select ā€œnoā€ option for node start towards installation end.Also, check cardano node and cli version before proceeding to next step. Should result new version 8.0.0

./software_upgrade.sh

cardano-node --version

cardano-cli --version

Step4:- Download the below latest files and rename them. Set tracemempool = true in config.json post rename, if your old file has the same property set.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cardano-community/guild-operators/cnode-8.0.0/files/config-mainnet.json

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cardano-community/guild-operators/cnode-8.0.0/files/conway-genesis-guild.json

mv config-mainnet.json config.json

mv conway-genesis-guild.json conway-genesis.json

Step5:- Download the latest db snapshot through curl. Download will take approx. ~10mins to ~1hr or more depends on server configuration.

curl -o - https://downloads.csnapshots.io/snapshots/mainnet/$(curl -s https://downloads.csnapshots.io/snapshots/mainnet/mainnet-db-snapshot.json| jq -r ..file_name ) | lz4 -c -d - | tar -x -C $CNODE_HOME

Step6:- Start the cnode service

sudo systemctl start cnode

You are in ā€˜detached HEADā€™ state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

git switch -c

Or undo this operation with:

git switch -

Instead of using the script (./software_upgrade.sh), you can simply use these commands :

cd ~/git
sudo rm -R cardano-node
git clone https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node
cd cardano-node

git fetch --tags --all
git checkout 8.0.0

echo -e "package cardano-crypto-praos\n  flags: -external-libsodium-vrf" > cabal.project.local

This part doesnā€™t work

Looks like i needed a different version of cabal, installation worked after following these steps.

Note: make sure you have ghc 8.10.7 and cabal 3.6.2.0 before proceeding.

(Others have used 9.2.7 for ghc, so you can use that too)

ghcup upgrade
ghcup install ghc 8.10.7
ghcup set ghc 8.10.7
ghcup install cabal 3.6.2.0
ghcup set cabal 3.6.2.0
cabal update
ghc --version
cabal --version
