From docker container artifactory

The easiest way to run the node in a docker container is to use a pre-built container image. You can find the images in the container regsitry (Coming Soon).

From container image

1. Install Docker on your machine from the official website (opens in a new tab)

   Verify it's installed

   docker version

   If not installed, verify that the path is set correctly and docker daemon is running in background

2. Pull the docker image

   You can point to the release image. Referring to latest in this case

   docker image pull <polaris-container-registry>/polaris:latest>

   Note: Might have to use different docker image for different OS

3. Run the container image

   docker run -p 1317:1317 <polaris-container-registry>/polaris:latest>

Now you have a node running on your machine with a default chain and we have RPC running on port 1317 and path eth/rpc. To verify, you can try eth_blockNumber JSON-RPC example below -

curl -X POST 127.0.0.1:1317/eth/rpc -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"eth_blockNumber", "params":[], "id":1}'

A successful JSON RPC query will return in following -

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "result": "<block_number>"
}
