Install multiple nodes on a single machine

The default GaiaNet installer installs the node into the $HOME/gaianet base directory. You could install multiple nodes on the same machine. Each node has its own "base directory". To do that, you just need to use the --base option.

Let's say that the base directory for your second node is $HOME/node-2. You can install GaiaNet node software using the following command.

curl -sSfL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/main/install.sh' | bash -s -- --base $HOME/node-2

After that, you can specify the gaianet CLI to operate on node-2 by appending the --base option as well.

gaianet init --base $HOME/node-2
gaianet start --base $HOME/node-2
