Quick Start

1. Create repo from template

Click Use this template -> Create a new repository and finish the set up process.

2. Clone repo

Clone the resulting repository

git clone <your-github-url-here>

3. Set up virtual environment

python -m venv .venv

For Windows:

.venv\Scripts\activate

For Mac/Linux:

source .venv\bin\activate

4. Set node name

Pick a name for your node, and update the package directory name in src/, node_name in config.py, and name in pyproject.toml.

5. Install your node package

This will install your node in editable mode, reflecting changes as you edit the source code.

pip install -e .

6. Set up .env file

Create a file called .env and inside set PRIV_KEY_PASSWORD=<password_of_your choice>. This will be used to encrypt your node's private key.

7. Run node server

python -m koi_net_YOUR_NODE_NAME_node

Modifying this Node

Take a look at the koi-net repo for documentation about the koi-net package and developing nodes. This template provides the basic structure for a full node setup. You'll likely want to start by modifying config.py with the RID types your node deals with, and adding some new knowledge handlers in handlers.py.
