Instructions

Once you've have purchase a Node Key of any tier (1-3), please follow the steps below to complete a local deployment of your node.

For Tier 3 holders follow steps below

1. Clone the https://github.com/sparkpointio/sparkpoint-network-node repository
2. If using VPS, run sudo chmod 777 config in the base directory of the sparkpoint-network-node repository.
3. Open config/nodeConfigTier3.json file, and replace all "PRIVATE KEY" with your own private key used in purchasing the node key
4. If you have a paid Arbitrum Orbit RPC, replace the "https://sepolia-rollup.arbitrum.io/rpc" with your own Arbitrum Sepolia RPC URL, and adjust "node"."inbox-reader" values to fully utilize your RPC speed
5. Run "npm run start" or "docker compose up -d" in the base directory of the sparkpoint-network-node repository. This will launch the node with a public RPC reachable at http 8449
6. Optionally, run "npm run logs" or "docker compose logs -f nitro" in the base directory of the sparkpoint-network-node repository to view the logs of the node

For Tier 1-2 holders, follow steps below

1. Clone the https://github.com/sparkpointio/sparkpoint-network-node repository
2. If using VPS, run sudo chmod 777 config in the base directory of the sparkpoint-network-node repository.
3. Open docker-compose.yaml and replace "command: --conf.file /home/user/.arbitrum/nodeConfigTier3.json" with "command: --conf.file /home/user/.arbitrum/nodeConfigTier1-2.json"
4. Open config/nodeConfigTier1-2.json file, and replace all "PRIVATE KEY" with your own private key used in purchasing the node key
5. If you have a paid Arbitrum Orbit RPC, replace the "https://sepolia-rollup.arbitrum.io/rpc" with your own Arbitrum Sepolia RPC URL, and adjust "node"."inbox-reader" values to fully utilize your RPC speed
6. Run "npm run start" or "docker compose up -d" in the base directory of the sparkpoint-network-node repository. This will launch the node with a public RPC reachable at http 8449
7. Optionally, run "npm run logs" or "docker compose logs -f nitro" in the base directory of the sparkpoint-network-node repository to view the logs of the node
