Deployment

Important: Before deploying, ensure that the Narwhal mempool is deployed. See hetu-parallel-engine/hetu-consensus for details.

Local Deployment

To deploy locally, use the local_node.sh script. This script will set up a local environment for running the Hetu Chain node.

./local_node.sh

Remote Deployment

For remote deployment, ensure that hhubd is available in the PATH on each machine. It is also recommended to set up SSH keys on the remote machines for secure and passwordless access.

1. init_validators.sh: This script initializes the validators required for the Hetu Chain. You need to provide the remote IPs for the 4 validators in the network as parameters.

   ./init_validators.sh <remote_ip1> <remote_ip2> <remote_ip3> <remote_ip4>

2. start_node_archive.sh: This script starts the node in archive mode.

   ./start_node_archive.sh

These scripts will help you set up and run the Hetu Chain on a remote server.
