2️⃣Node: Setup

Description of steps required to download and start your node

Setting up a Deso Node is a simple process, but first verify that you have both Docker and Git installed.

Cloning The Repository

Create a folder where you want your node to be held then open your terminal of choice in that location.

Execute the command git clone https://github.com/deso-protocol/run.git in your terminal.

Download The Containers

Once the installation is complete navigate to the run folder with cd run and execute the command ./run.sh

A small terminal will appear and automatically download the containers for the node's frontend, backend, and nginx. This may take a few minutes.

Note in order to turn your node on or off open the Docker GUI navigate to the containers/apps tab, hover over the run tab, and hit the start/stop button to turn your node on or off.

Congratulations, your Deso node is now running locally! Navigate to http://deso.run or locahost:8080 in your browser to see your local instance.
