Rep nodes are live

Here are the original Gala node instructions:

Install the Gala Node Software on Ubuntu Linux

Installing The Gala Node Software

Open the Terminal for the Ubuntu installation and enter:

sudo NEEDRESTARTMODE=a apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

This will ensure that the computer has the latest package list for installing programs.

Install Docker

sudo apt install docker.io -y

Install gala-node CLI tool

This step requires wget, so if the below command falls in an error command not found: wget, please install it first.

• Ubuntu & relevant distros: apt-get install wget
• Fedora & relevant distros: sudo dnf install wget

sudo wget --trust-server-names <https://links.gala.com/DownloadLinuxNode>

sudo tar xzvf <path-to-downloaded-file>
# For instance on Amazon Linux instance:
# sudo tar xzvf /home/ec2-user/gala-node-v3.6.6.tar.gz

sudo gala-node/install.sh

Import your GalaNode API key

You can get an API key at https://node.gala.com/#/api-key.

sudo gala-node config api-key <your-api-key>

Now, let’s check whether you have a Gala Node license.

sudo gala-node licenses

The command will return the result as a list of available workloads. If the result contains rep, you will be able to run a Rep workload.

<aside> 💡 If you make a mistake to set a wrong API key, you can run rm -rf ~/.config/gala-node then set it again.

Run the workload

sudo gala-node workload add rep
# For instance if you want to run Rep workload
# sudo gala-node workload add rep

sudo gala-node start
