Issue:
`./scripts/single-node.sh` is broken
## Context

On `main`

## Problem

```
$ ./scripts/single-node.sh
celestia-app version: 3.2.1-rc1-130-gb54dd2d3b
celestia-app home: /Users/rootulp/.celestia-app
celestia-app genesis file: /Users/rootulp/.celestia-app/config/genesis.json

Do you want to delete existing /Users/rootulp/.celestia-app and start a new local testnet? [y/n]
y
Deleting /Users/rootulp/.celestia-app...
Initializing validator and node config files...
Adding a new key to the keyring...
Adding genesis account...
Error: unknown command "add-genesis-account" for "celestia-appd"
Run 'celestia-appd --help' for usage.
```
