Standalone

Good for Running a Testnet

In an Arcology standalone deployment, all software components are installed on a single physical machine. This approach is the most cost-efficient way to run an Arcology node for running a testnet

Hardware Requirements

In this mode, all the key modules reside on a single machine and share resources on the same physical machine. The option is the simplest and most cost efficient.

Minimum Requirement

This is the bare minimum required to run a node that can process some transactions without running into issues.

• 32GB RAM or more

• 8 CPU cores

• NVMe SSD with 2T free space

• 10G Bandwidth

Optimized Configuration

The optimized configuration equips the node with ability to stand with a sustained TPS of 10K or more.

• 512GB RAM or more

• 32 CPU cores (excluding hyperthreading)

• NVMe SSD with 8T free space

• 10G Bandwidth

Arcology scales effectively with the availability of resources. Increasing the number of processor cores and memory will enhance performance.

Installation

Clone the repository to the host machines where you want to run the testnet:

    git clone https://github.com/arcology-network/devnet.git

Download

In the DevNet directory run the following command to download the dependencies for both the L1 setup and the L2 setup:

    > cd devnet
    devnet> ./cli/download.sh

Install Dependencies

If your machine IP is 192.168.1.108:

    devnet> ./cli/install.sh -p 192.168.1.108

Start Network

The network is set up and ready to go. Execute the command below to initiate the network.

devnet> ./cli/start.sh -f http://192.168.1.108:7545 -s http://192.168.1.108:8545 -r true -m false

Check the Connectivity

Make sure the testnet is up and running. Lastly, it is necessary to verify the connectivity to confirm that the network is functioning correctly.
