Installing PowerAgent as a DAppNode Package

The simplest way to launch the PowerAgent note is to install it on top of the DAppNode software. DAppNode is a platform for running various blockchain nodes and decentralized applications.

In the following pages, we will explain in detail how to:

1. Obtain DAppNode software.

2. Register your keeper in the Agent.

3. Install the PowerAgent node on it.

4. Monitor the performance of your keeper.

Installing as a Standalone Package

PowerAgent software is also available as a standalone client. This method is optimal if you are already a node-runner and have your own execution and consensus client. You will need to provide a reliable JSON RPC endpoint for its operation.

Currently, we cannot guarantee flawless interaction with publicly available RPC providers. Please, run your own blockchain node or follow the easy DAppNode way.

If you wish to use the standalone PowerAgent package and deploy it on your own Ethereum testnet node-equipped hardware, then proceed to the section Standalone Installation.
