Deploy Sync Node With Automated P2P Address Generation

Navigate to the "scripts" folder.

cd /usr/local/ztxchain/scripts

To run the node, execute the "ztx" script as shown below.

./ztx start

Check the node status, the status should display the node is running.

./ztx status

Make sure to open P2P port (18001), API port (18002) and Websocket port (18003). The ports can be changed from configuration file (ztx.json).

If you deploy the node from within your home network router, please make sure to do port forwarding on the router to allow inbound connection for these ports.
