​
2. Create a Personal access token
You can follow this guide to create a personal access token/key:
​
https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/create-personal-access-token/
​
Make a note of that key. We will use it in the next step.
3. Creating a Taraxa Node
If you are running this on Windows you will first need to install Windows Subsystem for Linux. You can use
this guide
.
Export your Digital Ocean access token to your environment so that the node creation script can access it without prompting you for it:
1
export
DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN
=
your-token
Copied!
Then you can download and run the node creation script using this command:
1
bash
-c
"
$(
curl
-fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Taraxa-project/taraxa-ops/master/scripts/one-click-DO.sh
)
"
Copied!
Now you should see a new droplet in your Digital Ocean account and you should receive an email with the login details.
NOTE: It takes a few minutes after the droplet starts to install the Taraxa Node software.
4. Check the logs
You can use the following commands to check if the node is up and running:
1
sudo
docker
ps
2
​
3
sudo
docker
logs -f taraxa_compose_node_1
