The Command Line Interface of the Node and its associated Tools is described at the following locations:

Examples

For example, the following command starts an Observer Node in Shard 0:

./node -rest-api-interface=localhost:8080 \
 -use-log-view -log-save -log-level=*:DEBUG -log-logger-name \
 -destination-shard-as-observer=0 -start-in-epoch\
 -validator-key-pem-file=observer0.pem

While the following starts a Node as a Metachain Observer:

./node -rest-api-interface=localhost:8080 \
 -use-log-view -log-save -log-level=*:DEBUG -log-logger-name \
 -destination-shard-as-observer=metachain -start-in-epoch\
 -validator-key-pem-file=observerMetachain.pem
