Configuration

The Function node uses a set of configuration files located in the ~/.fxn directory in your user's home folder.

• config.yaml: The main configuration file for the node server.

• model_backend.yaml: Configuration for the model backend

• nodekey.json: Stores your node's private key.

Starting the Node

You can start the node using:

fxn start

nodekey.json will created for you upon start if it wasn't created before.

Text-based User Interface (TUI)

For a more interactive experience with easier debugging and state monitoring, you can start the node with a Text-based User Interface (TUI):

fxn start --tui

Account Management

Before starting a node, you need to generate a node key. This key is used to identify your node on the Function Network.

Creating a New Account

To generate a new node key, run the following command:

fxn account new

This command will create a nodekey.json file in your ~/.fxn directory.

Viewing Your Account

To display your existing node key and address, use:

fxn account show
