   🤔 What does the script do?

   Script Overview

   This script automates the setup and initialization of your Primev node, catering to both bidder and provider roles. Below is a detailed breakdown of the script’s operations:

   1. Initialization

   • Sets up essential variables like the RPC URL (https://chainrpc.testnet.mev-commit.xyz) for network communication and the node type (either bidderorprovider`).
   • Establishes the root directory ($HOME/.mev-commit) where the mev-commit node will be installed.

   2. Download

   • Fetches the appropriate mev-commit binary for your system from the Primev GitHub releases page, considering your operating system and architecture.

   3. Installation

   • Extracts the downloaded binary into the specified root directory, ensuring all necessary executables are correctly placed for the node’s operation.

   4. Configuration

   • Initializes the mev-commit node with your specified settings, including the node type and the RPC endpoint, along with necessary contract addresses for the node’s functionality.

   5. Wallet Setup

   • Generates a new private key and wallet address for your node.

   6. Node Startup

   • Launches the mev-commit node in the background tailored to the specified role, enabling it to begin its operations within the Primev network.

   7. Cleanup

   • Includes a cleanup function to ensure the node is properly shut down when the script exits, preventing any residual processes.
