2.4. Use¶
This section explains which commands are available to manage your node.
2.4.1. Quick start¶
To create a new node, run the command below. A menu will be started that allows you to set up a node configuration file. For more details, check out the Configure section.
v6 node new
To run a node, execute the command below. The --attach flag will
cause log output to be printed to the console.
v6 node start --name <your_node> --attach
Finally, a node can be stopped again with:
v6 node stop --name <your_node>
Note
Before the node is started, it is attempted to obtain the server version.
For a server of version x.y.z, a node of version x.y.<latest> is
started - this is the latest available node version for the server version.
If no server version can be obtained, the latest node of the same major
version as the command-line interface installation is started.
2.4.2. Available commands¶
Below is a list of all commands you can run for your node(s). To see all
available options per command use the --help flag,
i.e. v6 node start --help .
