# Start infra-keychain and infra-node

## NOTE - You can skip this step and use the InfraBlockchain-Antelope testnet instead of a local testnet

## Step 1: Boot Node and Wallet

### Step 1.1: Start infra-keychain

First let us start infra-keychain:

```
infra-keychain &
```

You should see some output that looks like this:

```
info  2018-11-26T06:54:24.789 thread-0  wallet_plugin.cpp:42          plugin_initialize    ] initializing wallet plugin
info  2018-11-26T06:54:24.795 thread-0  http_plugin.cpp:554           add_handler          ] add api url: /v1/keosd/stop
info  2018-11-26T06:54:24.796 thread-0  wallet_api_plugin.cpp:73      plugin_startup       ] starting wallet_api_plugin
info  2018-11-26T06:54:24.796 thread-0  http_plugin.cpp:554           add_handler          ] add api url: /v1/wallet/create
info  2018-11-26T06:54:24.796 thread-0  http_plugin.cpp:554           add_handler          ] add api url: /v1/wallet/create_key
info  2018-11-26T06:54:24.796 thread-0  http_plugin.cpp:554           add_handler          ] add api url: /v1/wallet/get_public_keys
```

Press enter to continue

### Step 1.2: Start infra-node

Start infra-node now:

```
infra-node -e -p eosio \
--plugin eosio::producer_plugin \
--plugin eosio::producer_api_plugin \
--plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin \
--plugin eosio::http_plugin \
--plugin eosio::history_plugin \
--plugin eosio::history_api_plugin \
--filter-on="*" \
--access-control-allow-origin='*' \
--contracts-console \
--http-validate-host=false \
--verbose-http-errors >> infra-node.log 2>&1 &
```

These settings accomplish the following:

1. Run i**nfra-node. This** command loads all the basic plugins, set the server address, enable CORS and add some contract debugging and logging.
2. Enable CORS with no restrictions (\*) and development logging

{% hint style="warning" %}
In the above configuration, CORS is enabled for `*` **for development purposes only**, you should **never** enable CORS for `*` on a node that is publicly accessible!
{% endhint %}

### Troubleshooting

If in the previous step, after starting `infra-node`, you see an error message similar to "Database dirty flag set (likely due to unclean shutdown): replay required" try to start `infra-node` with `--replay-blockchain`. More details on troubleshooting `infra-node`

## Step 2: Check the installation

### Step 2.1: Check that infra-node is Producing Blocks

Run the following command

```
tail -f infra-node.log
```

You should see some output in the console that looks like this:

```

Press `ctrl + c` to close the log

### Step 2.2: Check the Wallet

Open the shell and run the `infra-cli` command to list available wallets. We will talk more about wallets in the future. For now, we need to validate the installation and see that the command line client `infra-cli` is working as intended.

```
infra-cli wallet list
```

You should see a response with an empty list of wallets:

```
Wallets:
[]
```

From this point forward, you'll be executing commands from your local system (Linux or Mac)

### Step 2.3: Check infra-node endpoints

This will check that the RPC API is working correctly, pick one.

1. Check the `get_info` endpoint provided by the `chain_api_plugin` in your browser: <http://localhost:8888/v1/chain/get_info>
2. Check the same thing, but in the console on your **host machine**

```
curl http://localhost:8888/v1/chain/get_info
```
