Now we can install Bitcoin Core via snapd

sudo apt-get install snapd
sudo snap install bitcoin-core
# Snap does some weird things with binary names; you'll
# want to add a link to them so everything works as expected
sudo ln -s /snap/bitcoin-core/current/bin/bitcoin{d,-cli} /usr/local/bin/

Create bitcoin.conf:
mkdir ~/.bitcoin
touch ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

Copy and paste below to bitcoin.conf that was just created

server=1
testnet=1
daemon=1
zmqpubrawblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332
zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:28333
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=passwd

Running Bitcoin Core

Run the following command to start bitcoind server:
bitcoind

Check the current block height:
bitcoin-cli getblockcount

If it is equal to block height shown at https://blockstream.info/testnet/, that means node is fully synced.
