BeamX: How to set up your Beam Node.

The Beam Node is an essential part of the Beam blockchain. It is responsible for validating transactions and also for mining.

The Beam Node is available for Windows, Macintosh and Linux users and can be downloaded on the Beam Website download page.

This article will guide you on how to set up your own Beam Node using a step by step approach.

1. The first step is to download the Beam CLI node here.

2. Extract the content into a location you can easily access.

3. Launch your Terminal and navigate to the folder where you extracted the Beam Node.

4. Now we launch the BeamX Node and allow it to sync with the Beam blockchain. To do this, we launch a separate terminal and navigate to the folder where the node and wallet were extracted. Then we enter the command.

beam-node -port=8501 -owner_key=<put here the owner key from the previous step without the brackets> -peer=us-node01.beamx.beam.mw:8100,us-node02.beamx.beam.mw:8100,us-node03.beamx.beam.mw:8100Replace the owner_key=<put here the owner key from the previous step without the brackets> with owner_key=Yf6WH63i9L+23dBSj/qPVXSYLbdHxHJnJ5SKEGeNGtpMPb113Mv/UQQBskBr6mAGARCeXD3QEj3OI558Xv6/s5SpZjgol+plXajFE536Znl6gu+c6B5jb2rtNPnrroV7zE3IIQbj9FcMrzij.

so the code looks like this

beam-node -port=8501 -owner_key= Yf6WH63i9L+23dBSj/qPVXSYLbdHxHJnJ5SKEGeNGtpMPb113Mv/UQQBskBr6mAGARCeXD3QEj3OI558Xv6/s5SpZjgol+plXajFE536Znl6gu+c6B5jb2rtNPnrroV7zE3IIQbj9FcMrzij -peer=us-node01.beamx.beam.mw:8100,us-node02.beamx.beam.mw:8100,us-node03.beamx.beam.mw:8100

Node Synchronizing with the Beam Blockchain

Allow the node to synchronize to the current blockchain height before moving to the next step. you can see the current block here: http://beamx.explorer.beam.mw

Node fully Synchronized.

Now the node is fully synchronised and ready for use.
