- Linux/AMD64
- Darwin/AMD64
- Darwin/ARM64

## Prerequisites

- [Install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
- [Install Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
- Download the Full node [docker-compose.yaml](https://github.com/iotaledger/iota/blob/develop/docker/fullnode/docker-compose.yaml) file.
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

## Configure Iota Full node
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) installed.
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) installed.
- Download the full node [docker-compose.yaml](https://github.com/iotaledger/iota/blob/develop/docker/fullnode/docker-compose.yaml) file.

Download the latest version of the Iota Full node configuration file [fullnode-template.yaml](https://github.com/iotaledger/iota/raw/develop/crates/iota-config/data/fullnode-template.yaml). Use the following command to download the file:
## Configure the IOTA Full Node

Download the latest version of the IOTA Full Node configuration file [fullnode-template.yaml](https://github.com/iotaledger/iota/raw/develop/crates/iota-config/data/fullnode-template.yaml). You can use the following command to download the file:

```shell
wget https://github.com/iotaledger/iota/raw/develop/crates/iota-config/data/fullnode-template.yaml
```

To ensure you add the appropriate peers for your full node, please refer to the instructions provided at the following link:
https://docs.iota.org/operator/iota-full-node#set-up-from-source and proceed with step 4.

### Download the Iota genesis blob
### Add Peers

The genesis blob contains the information that defined the Iota network configuration. Before you can start the Full node, you need to download the most recent file to ensure compatibility with the version of Iota you use.
For `Testnet` or `Devnet` nodes, edit the `fullnode.yaml` file to include peer nodes for state synchronization. Append
the following to the end of the current configuration:

To download the appropriate genesis.blob file, please refer to the instructions provided at the following link:

**Important:** The commands in this document assume you use Docker Compose V2. The `docker compose` command uses a dash (`docker-compose`) in Docker Compose V1. If you use Docker Compose V1, replace the space in each `docker compose` command with a dash (`docker-compose`). For more information, see [Docker Compose V2](https://docs.docker.com/compose/#compose-v2-and-the-new-docker-compose-command).
### Download the IOTA Genesis Blob

The genesis blob defines the IOTA network configuration. Before starting the Full Node, download the latest `genesis.blob` file to ensure compatibility with your version of IOTA.

## Test the Iota Full node
- [Testnet genesis blob](https://dbfiles.testnet.iota.cafe/genesis.blob):
`curl -fLJO https://dbfiles.testnet.iota.cafe/genesis.blob`
- [Devnet genesis blob](https://dbfiles.devnet.iota.cafe/genesis.blob):
`curl -fLJO https://dbfiles.devnet.iota.cafe/genesis.blob`
- [Devnet migration blob](https://dbfiles.devnet.iota.cafe/migration.blob):
`curl -fLJO https://dbfiles.devnet.iota.cafe/migration.blob`
- [Mainnet genesis blob](https://github.com/iotaledger/iota/TODO):
`curl -fLJO TODO`

Can we remove the Mainnet links and add a note that mainnet is not yet up, and a TODO as an invisible comment perhaps?

After the Full node starts you can test the JSON-RPC interfaces.

## View activity on your local Full node with Iota Explorer
Run the following command to start the IOTA Full Node in Docker:

Iota Explorer supports connecting to a local network. To view activity on your local Full node, open the URL: [https://explorer.iota.org/?network=local](https://explorer.iota.org/?network=local).
```shell

You can also change the network that Iota Explorer connects to by select it in the Iota Explorer interface.

Colocate the data ingestion daemon with a Full node and enable checkpoint dumping on the latter to set up a local stream source. After enabling, the Full node starts dumping executed checkpoints as files to a local directory, and the data ingestion daemon subscribes to changes in the directory through an inotify-like mechanism. This approach allows minimizing ingestion latency (checkpoint are processed immediately after a checkpoint executor on a Full node) and getting rid of dependency on an externally managed bucket.
