Setting up the repository

The first step is to clone and set up the Demos node repository.

Clone it with:

git clone https://github.com/kynesyslabs/node

Then navigate into the directory:

cd node

Before installing any dependencies, make sure you're on the correct branch:

• Main branch: stick with main to work with stable features — the same powering the nodes listed at https://status.demos.sh.

• Testnet branch: switch to testnet if you want to test the latest features (and deal with the bugs that come with them). Only recommended if you've been instructed to, or if you enjoy living dangerously.
