Prerequisites

1. Install Docker:
   • Ensure Docker is installed and running on your system.
   • For installation instructions, refer to the official Docker documentation.
2. System Requirements:
   • At least 4 CPU cores.
   • Minimum 8GB RAM.
   • Adequate disk space (depending on your network requirements).
3. Clone the Repository:
   • Obtain the ZKVerifier node repository from its official source.

Step 1: Pull the Docker Image

The ZKVerifier node is distributed as a prebuilt Docker image. Pull the image with the following command:

docker pull zkverifier/node:latest

Step 2: Configure the Node

1. Create a Configuration Directory:

   • This directory will store configuration files and data.

   • Example:

     mkdir -p ~/zkverifier/config
     
     

2. Prepare the Configuration File:

   • Download or generate a config.yaml file and place it in the ~/zkverifier/config directory.

   • Example content of config.yaml:

     network:
       id: mainnet
     rpc:
       enabled: true
       host: 0.0.0.0
       port: 8545
     node:
       data_path: /data
     
     

   • Adjust the file based on your network preferences (e.g., mainnet, testnet).

Step 3: Run the Node Using Docker

Use the following command to start the node:

docker run -d \
  --name zkverifier-node \
  -v ~/zkverifier/config:/config \
  -v ~/zkverifier/data:/data \
  -p 8545:8545 \
  zkverifier/node:latest

Explanation of Parameters:

• d: Runs the container in detached mode.
• -name zkverifier-node: Assigns a name to the container.
