• if using a separate disks for chainstate, mount them now i.e. sudo mount /dev/xvdf1 /bitcoin

2. Install Bitcoin:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stacksfoundation/miner-docs/main/scripts/install_bitcoin.sh | bash

Once Bitcoin has fully synced from genesis, the final script can be run
