Deployment of the zkNode

zkNode Deployment​

First, create the following directories:

mkdir -p ~/zkevm/data/{statedb,pooldb} ~/zkevm/zkevm-config ~/zkevm/zkevm-node

Next, populate the directories by fetching data from latest node releases, for example with mainnet:

export ZKEVM_NET="mainnet"
export ZKEVM_DIR="zkevm"
curl -L https://github.com/zkevm-chain/zkevm-node/releases/latest/download/$ZKEVM_NET.zip > $ZKEVM_NET.zip && unzip -o $ZKEVM_NET.zip -d $ZKEVM_DIR && rm $ZKEVM_NET.zip

Copy the example.env file into .env file and open in editor:

export ZKEVM_CONFIG_DIR="/root/zkevm/zkevm-config"
cp ~/$ZKEVM_DIR/$ZKEVM_NET/example.env $ZKEVM_CONFIG_DIR/.env
vim $ZKEVM_CONFIG_DIR/.env

In the .env file, set:

ZKEVM_NODE_ETHERMAN_URL = "http://localhost:8845"  # set valid Geth Goerli RPC endpoint
ZKEVM_NODE_STATEDB_DATA_DIR = "~/zkevm/data/statedb"
ZKEVM_NODE_POOLDB_DATA_DIR = "~/zkevm/data/pooldb"
