1. Install

The node will run in Docker, so install Docker first (if you have it installed, skip running the command below):

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh && sh get-docker.sh

mkdir /chain
sudo chown -R $(id -u):$(id -g) /chain

Create a container, to do this, follow the commands:

docker create --name automata --restart=always \
-v "/chain:/data" \
-u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) \
atactr/automata:contextfree-v0.1.0-rc4 \
--node-type validator \
--name NODES-GURU

Replace NODES-GURU with your node name.

Start the container:

docker start automata

docker logs -f automata --tail=50
