The official documentation for setting up a node and configuring it as a stake pool on the mainnet is mostly very clear and complete. I was able to get my node compiled, installed and running pretty easily. But configuring the node to run as a stake pool is more complicated and the documentation seems to have some missing bits, so I'm documenting here just the specific parts that I had trouble with.
Register stake address on the blockchain
Everything went smoothly until I got to Register stake address on the blockchain. The main issue is that you need to have some balance in your payment.addr address, and the previous step of creating a sample transaction is not optional, things in that step such as protocol.json and the output hash are referred to in this step.
The instructions here help to clarify these confusing points even though the syntax is a little different since it's for a testnet.
