## Steps
### 0. Setup blockchain node (optional)
You need to have installed NodeJS and npm in order to spinup a local blockchain node.
Go to directory `vendor/codex-contracts-eth` and run these two commands:
```
npm ci
npm start
```
This will launch a local Ganache blockchain.

Optionally, if you want to use the Marketplace blockchain functionality, you need to also include these flags: `--persistence --eth-account=<account>`, where `account` can be one following:
- `0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8`

- `0x15d34AAf54267DB7D7c367839AAf71A00a2C6A65`
**For each node use a different account!**
| Argument | Description |
|----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `data-dir` | We specify a relative path where the node will store its data. |
| `listen-addrs` | Multiaddress where the node will accept connections from other nodes. |
| `api-port` | Port on localhost where the node will expose its API. |
| `disc-port` | Port the node will use for its discovery service. |
| `persistence` | Enables Marketplace functionality. Requires a blockchain connection. |
| `eth-account` | Defines which blockchain account the node should use. |
Codex uses sane defaults for most of its arguments. Here we specify some explicitly for the purpose of this walk-through.

## Auto-discovery
Codex support marketplace contract auto-discovery based on the chain id, this mapping is done in the [source code](https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/blob/master/codex/contracts/deployment.nim). In that way we can skip `--marketplace-address` argument and use it just to override a discovered value.
## Run
Basically, we can run Codex in three different modes:
- [Codex node](#codex-node) - useful for local testing/development and basic/files sharing.
- [Codex node with marketplace support](#codex-node-with-marketplace-support) - you can share files and buy the storage, this is the main mode and should be used by the end users.
- [Codex storage node](#codex-storage-node) - should be used by storage providers or if you would like to sell your local storage.

#### Codex storage node
Codex [storage node](architecture#network-architecture) should be run by storage providers or in case you would like to sell your local storage.
For that, additionally to the [Codex node with marketplace support](#codex-node-with-marketplace-support) we should use `prover` sub-command and required [CLI options](#cli-options).
That sub-command will make Codex to listen for a proof requests on the blockchain and answer them. To compute an answer for the proof request, Codex will use stored data and circuit files generated by the code in the [codex-storage-proofs-circuits](https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-storage-proofs-circuits) repository.
Every [network](/networks/networks) uses its own generated set of the files which are stored in the [codex-contracts-eth](https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-contracts-eth/tree/master/verifier/networks) repository and also uploaded to the CDN. Hash of the files set is also known by the [marketplace smart contract](/learn/architecture#smart-contract).
To download circuit files and make them available to Codex app, we have a stand-alone utility - `cirdl`. It can be [compiled from the sources](/learn/build#circuit-download-tool) or downloaded from the [GitHub release page](https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/releases).

### Create storage availability
> [!WARNING]
> This step requires that Codex was started with the [`prover`](/learn/run#codex-storage-node) option.
In order to start selling storage space to the network, you must configure your node with the following command. Once configured, the node will monitor on-chain requests-for-storage and will automatically enter into contracts that meet these specifications. In order to enter and maintain storage contracts, your node is required to submit zero-knowledge storage proofs. The calculation of these proofs will increase the CPU and RAM usage of Codex.
```shell
curl -X POST \
http://localhost:8080/api/codex/v1/sales/availability \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-w '\n' \
-d '{
"totalSize": "8000000",
"duration": "7200",
"minPricePerBytePerSecond": "1000",
"totalCollateral": "80000000"
}'
```
For descriptions of each parameter, please view the [spec](https://api.codex.storage/#tag/Marketplace/operation/offerStorage).
### Purchase storage
To purchase storage space from the network, first you must upload your data. Once you have the CID, use the following to create a request-for-storage.
Set your CID:
```shell
# paste your CID from the previous step here between the quotes
CID="..."
echo "CID: ${CID}"
```
Next you can run:
```shell
curl -X POST \
"http://localhost:8080/api/codex/v1/storage/request/${CID}" \
-w '\n' \
-d '{
"duration": "3600",
"pricePerBytePerSecond": "2000",
"proofProbability": "5",
"expiry": "1200",
"nodes": 5,
"tolerance": 2,
"collateralPerByte": "1"
}'
```
For descriptions of each parameter, please view the [spec](https://api.codex.storage/#tag/Marketplace/operation/createStorageRequest).
When successful, this request will return a Purchase-ID.
### View purchase status
Using a Purchase-ID, you can check the status of your request-for-storage contract:
```shell
# paste your PURCHASE_ID from the previous step here between the quotes
PURCHASE_ID="..."
```
Then:
```shell
curl "http://localhost:8080/api/codex/v1/storage/purchases/${PURCHASE_ID}" \
-w '\n'
```
This will display state and error information for your purchase.
| State | Description |
|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Pending | Request is waiting for chain confirmation. |
| Submitted | Request is on-chain. Hosts may now attempt to download the data. |
| Started | Hosts have downloaded the data and provided proof-of-storage. |
| Failed | The request was started, but (too many) hosts failed to provide proof-of-storage on time. While the data may still be available in the network, for the purpose of the purchase it is considered lost. |
| Finished | The request was started successfully and the duration has elapsed. |
| Expired | (Not enough) hosts have submitted proof-of-storage before the request's expiry elapsed. |

curl http://localhost:8080/api/codex/v1/data
```
### Create storage availability {#create-storage-availability-windows}
> [!WARNING]
> This step requires that Codex was started with the [`prover`](/learn/run#codex-storage-node) option.
In order to start selling storage space to the network, you must configure your node with the following command. Once configured, the node will monitor on-chain requests-for-storage and will automatically enter into contracts that meet these specifications. In order to enter and maintain storage contracts, your node is required to submit zero-knowledge storage proofs. The calculation of these proofs will increase the CPU and RAM usage of Codex.
```batch
curl -X POST ^
http://localhost:8080/api/codex/v1/sales/availability ^
-H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
-d "{""totalSize"": ""8000000"", ""duration"": ""7200"", ""minPricePerBytePerSecond"": ""1000"", ""totalCollateral"": ""80000000""}"
```
For descriptions of each parameter, please view the [spec](https://api.codex.storage/#tag/Marketplace/operation/offerStorage).
### Purchase storage {#purchase-storage-windows}
To purchase storage space from the network, first you must upload your data. Once you have the CID, use the following to create a request-for-storage.
Set your CID:
```batch
:: paste your CID from the previous step here between the quotes
set CID="..."
echo CID: %CID%
```
Next you can run:
```batch
curl -X POST ^
"http://localhost:8080/api/codex/v1/storage/request/%CID%" ^
-H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
-d "{""duration"": ""3600"",""pricePerBytePerSecond"": ""2000"", ""proofProbability"": ""5"", ""expiry"": ""1200"", ""nodes"": 5, ""tolerance"": 2, ""**collateralPerByte**"": ""1""}"
```
For descriptions of each parameter, please view the [spec](https://api.codex.storage/#tag/Marketplace/operation/createStorageRequest).
When successful, this request will return a Purchase-ID.
### View purchase status {#view-purchase-status-windows}
Using a Purchase-ID, you can check the status of your request-for-storage contract:
```batch
:: paste your PURCHASE_ID from the previous step here between the quotes
set PURCHASE_ID="..."
```
Then:
```batch
curl "http://localhost:8080/api/codex/v1/storage/purchases/%PURCHASE_ID%"
```
This will display state and error information for your purchase.
| State | Description |
|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Pending | Request is waiting for chain confirmation. |
| Submitted | Request is on-chain. Hosts may now attempt to download the data. |
| Started | Hosts have downloaded the data and provided proof-of-storage. |
| Failed | The request was started, but (too many) hosts failed to provide proof-of-storage on time. While the data may still be available in the network, for the purpose of the purchase it is considered lost. |
| Finished | The request was started successfully and the duration has elapsed. |
| Expired | (Not enough) hosts have submitted proof-of-storage before the request's expiry elapsed. |
| Errored | An unfortunate state of affairs. The 'error' field should tell you more. |

# Codex networks
At Codex, we are launching several networks which are used for different purposes
| Network | Status | Blockchain | Purpose |
| ------------------ | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Devnet](devnet) | :white_check_mark: | [Status Network](https://status.network/) | Dedicated for development purposes and following latest `master` builds |
| [Testnet](testnet) | :white_check_mark: | [Geth PoA](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/fundamentals/private-network) | A public network for testing purposes, following latest releases |
| Mainnet | :construction: | :construction: | A main public network |
The main difference between networks are following
- Network purpose
- Bootstrap nodes
- Number of storage nodes
- Available storage volume
- Blockchain network
- Marketplace contract version
- Circuit files set used for proof verification
The easiest way to start to use Codex is to [Join Testnet](testnet).
At Codex, we will be launching both a devnet and a testnet.
| Network | Status | Purpose |
| ------------------ | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Devnet](devnet) | :construction: | Dedicated for development purposes and following latest `master` builds |
| [Testnet](testnet) | :construction: | A public network for testing purposes, following latest releases |

# Codex Testnet
The Codex Testnet has been launched and is ready to be used for testing.
The Codex testnet is under construction :building_construction:
Your participation in the Codex Testnet is subject to the [Codex Testnet Terms and Conditions](https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-testnet-starter/blob/master/Codex%20Testnet%20Terms%20and%20Conditions.pdf) and [Codex Testnet Privacy Policy](https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-testnet-starter/blob/master/Codex%20Testnet%20Privacy%20Policy.pdf).
**Guides.** We have basic guides covering how to set up a Storage Client which can be used to upload and persist files by buying storage in the Codex network. We recommend that you start with those.
Running a Storage Provider is more involved and is covered as a separate guide which demonstrates the storage sales side, as well as how to run Codex with its own local Ethereum execution client.
Guides are available either on Discord, as step-by-step, interactive guides, or here as simple instructions that you can follow:
- **Basic: running a storage client.** [[Discord](#sc-guide-discord) | [web](#sc-guide-web)]
- **Advanced: Running a storage provider.** [[web](#sp-guide-web)]
The guides were tested on the following operating systems:
- Linux: Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12, Fedora 40
- macOS: 15
- Windows: 11, Server 2022
## Running a Storage Client (Discord Version) {#sc-guide-discord}
You can join [Codex Discord server](https://discord.gg/codex-storage) and jump into the [#:tv:|join-testnet](https://discord.com/channels/895609329053474826/1289923125928001702) channel.
It is mostly the same as a [Web guide](#sc-guide-web), but uses Discord capabilities so you can have an interactive, step-by-step guide, and you also can get a support in the [#:sos:|node-help](https://discord.com/channels/895609329053474826/1286205545837105224) channel.
## Running a Storage Client (Web Version) {#sc-guide-web}
**Prerequisites**
- Access to your Internet router so you can [configure port forwarding](#basic-common)
Steps for [Linux/macOS](#basic-linux-macos) and [Windows](#basic-windows) are slightly different, so please use ones for your OS.
<hr>
### Linux/macOS {#basic-linux-macos}
1. Install Codex binaries from GitHub releases:
```shell
curl -s https://get.codex.storage/install.sh | bash
```
2. Install dependencies when required:
```shell
# Debian-based Linux
sudo apt update && sudo apt install libgomp1
```
3. Generate an ethereum keypair:
```shell
curl -s https://get.codex.storage/generate.sh | bash
```
Your private key will be saved to `eth.key` and address to `eth.address` file.
4. Fill-up your address shown on the screen with the tokens:
- Use the web faucets to mint some [ETH](https://faucet-eth.testnet.codex.storage) and [TST](https://faucet-tst.testnet.codex.storage) tokens.
- We can also do this using Discord [# bot](https://discord.com/channels/895609329053474826/1230785221553819669) channel
- Use `/set ethaddress` command to enter your generated address
- Use `/mint` command to receive ETH and TST tokens
- Use `/balance` command to check if you have received test tokens successfully
5. Run Codex node:
```shell
curl -s https://get.codex.storage/run.sh | bash
```
6. Configure [port forwarding](#basic-common) and we are ready go to.
### Windows {#basic-windows}
1. Download the master tarball from the Codex testnet starter repository, and untar its contents:
> [!WARNING]
> Windows antivirus software and built-in firewalls may cause steps to fail. We will cover some possible errors here, but always consider checking your setup if requests fail - in particular, if temporarily disabling your antivirus fixes it, then it is likely to be the culprit.
```batch
curl -LO https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-testnet-starter/archive/master.tar.gz
```
If you see an error like:
```batch
curl: (35) schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: CRYPT_E_NO_REVOCATION_CHECK (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate.
```
You may need to add the `--ssl-no-revoke` option to your curl call, e.g.:
```batch
curl -LO --ssl-no-revoke https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-testnet-starter/archive/master.tar.gz
```
1. Extract the contents of the tar file, and then delete it:
```batch
tar xzvf master.tar.gz
del master.tar.gz
```
2. Navigate to the scripts folder:
```batch
cd codex-testnet-starter-master\scripts\windows
```
3. Download Codex binaries from GitHub releases:
```batch
download-online.bat
```
4. Generate an ethereum keypair:
```batch
generate.bat
```
Your private key will be saved to `eth.key` and address to `eth.address` file.
5. Fill-up your address shown on the screen with the tokens:
- Use the web faucets to mint some [ETH](https://faucet-eth.testnet.codex.storage) and [TST](https://faucet-tst.testnet.codex.storage) tokens.
- We can also do this using Discord [# bot](https://discord.com/channels/895609329053474826/1230785221553819669) channel
- Use `/set ethaddress` command to enter your generated address
- Use `/mint` command to receive ETH and TST tokens
- Use `/balance` command to check if you have received test tokens successfully
6. Run Codex node:
```batch
run-client.bat
```
7. Configure [port forwarding](#basic-common) and we are ready go to.
### All OS {#basic-common}
Configure [port forwarding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding) on your Internet router
| # | Protocol | Port | Description |
| - | -------- | ------ | ----------------- |
| 1 | `UDP` | `8090` | `Codex Discovery` |
| 2 | `TCP` | `8070` | `Codex Transport` |
After your node is up and running, you can use the [Codex API](/developers/api) to be able to interact with your Codex node, please check our [API walk-through](/learn/using) for more details.
You also can use [Codex App UI](https://app.codex.storage) to interact with your local Codex node.
