Install the software

⚠️ If you already have an existing Mavryk installation, do not forget to backup and delete your ~/.mavryk-node and ~/.mavryk-client.

Alternative: Use docker

To join Boreasnet with docker, open a shell in the container:

docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/sh mavrykdynamics/mavryk:mavkit-v20.3-rc2

Alternative: Build the software

⚠️ If this is your first time installing Mavryk, you may need to install a few dependencies.

cd
git clone [email protected]:mavryk-network/mavryk-protocol.git
cd mavryk-protocol
git checkout mavkit-v20.3-rc2
opam init # if this is your first time using OPAM
make build-deps
eval $(opam env)
make
export PATH=$HOME/mavryk-protocol:$PATH

Join the Boreasnet network

Run the following commands:

mavkit-node config init --network https://testnets.mavryk.network/boreasnet

mavkit-node run --rpc-addr 127.0.0.1:8732

Bake on the Boreasnet network

To improve reliability of the chain, you can take part in the consensus by becoming a baker. In that case, you will need some test tokens from the faucet.

If you are not a bootstrap baker, you need to register your key as a delegate using your alias or pkh. For instance:

mavkit-client register key mykey as delegate

You may now launch the baker process.

mavkit-baker-PtBoreas run with local node ~/.mavryk-node mykey --liquidity-baking-toggle-vote pass

You may run the accuser as well:

mavkit-accuser-PtBoreas run

Note that you need a minimum amount of tez to get baking rights. If you are not a bootstrap baker, it will take you several cycles to start baking.

💡 Now that you are baking, you are responsible for the network health. Please ensure that the baking processes will keep running in the background. You may want to use screen, tmux, nohup or systemd. Also make sure that the baking processes will restart when your machine restarts.
