# rln-db-inspector This document describes how to run and use the `rln-db-inspector` tool. It is meant to be used to debug and fetch the metadata stored in the RLN tree db. ## Pre-requisites 1. An existing RLN tree db ## Usage 1. First, we compile the binary ```bash make -j16 wakunode2 ``` This command will fetch the rln static library and link it automatically. 2. Define the arguments you wish to use ```bash export RLN_TREE_DB_PATH="xxx" ``` 3. Run the db inspector ```bash ./build/wakunode2 inspectRlnDb \ --rln-relay-tree-path:$RLN_TREE_DB_PATH ``` What this does is - a. loads the tree db from the path provided b. Logs out the metadata, including, number of leaves set, past 5 merkle roots, last synced block number
