Running a node on Akash

Here's a step by step tutorial for running a Presearch Node on Akash

First things first, get your Akash environment set up. We recommend downloading the Akashlytics deployment desktop applicationarrow-up-right. Select MacOS, Window OS or Linux OS and wait for it to download. This assumes you've already created your Presearch account and can access nodes.presearch.comarrow-up-right

Step 1 - Create wallet

Once Akashlytics has finished downloading, open the desktop app and follow the instructions for setting up. You can either import an existing wallet, or create a new one.

  • In the tool you can choose a name for this wallet. This will not affect the functionality of the tool but is just an easy way to track what wallet is currently in use.

  • Next choose a password that you will remember for the wallet.

Note: The funds available in the pre-existing wallet instance should now be available to Akashlytics and displayed in the upper left corner of the application (52.943 AKT in the provided example)

Step 2 - Certificate Creation

When first launching the tool there will not be a valid certificate. To fix this select the ellipsis to the right of the Certificate status and click “Create Certificate”.

Step 3 - Deploy Presearch Node

  • Click "Deploy" Button

  • Click "Deploy from File"

  • Make sure that you have sufficient $AKT to push the deployment. If you don't have sufficient AKT, you can purchase from one of these marketsarrow-up-right.

  • Submit a memo & click "approve"

  • Choose your provider of choice and click "accept bid"

  • Approve the memo and deploy your node!

  • See and manage your new node on your dashboard!
