Preparing Your Environment

Before running a miner or validator, ensure to:

Environment Variables Configuration

For setting up the necessary environment variables for your miner or validator, please refer to the Environment Variables Guide.

Running the Miner

python -m neurons/miners/miner.py
    --netuid 22
    --subtensor.network finney
    --wallet.name 
    --wallet.hotkey 
    --axon.port 14000

Running the Validator API with Automatic Updates

These validators are designed to run and update themselves automatically. To run a validator, follow these steps:

1. Install this repository, you can do so by following the steps outlined in the installation section. 2. Install Weights and Biases and run wandb login within this repository. This will initialize Weights and Biases, enabling you to view KPIs and Metrics on your validator. (Strongly recommended to help the network improve from data sharing) 3. Install Redis. 4. Install PM2 and the jq package on your system. On Linux:

    sudo apt update && sudo apt install jq && sudo apt install npm && sudo npm install pm2 -g && pm2 update
    

    brew update && brew install jq && brew install npm && sudo npm install pm2 -g && pm2 update
    

    pm2 start run.sh --name desearch_autoupdate -- --wallet.name  --wallet.hotkey 
    

You can configure api workers and port by adding the following parameters:

    pm2 start run.sh --name desearch_autoupdate -- --workers 4 --port 8005  --wallet.name  --wallet.hotkey 
    

This will run three PM2 processes:

1. desearch_validator_process: Single validator service, which runs synthetic queries, updates metagraph, manages uids and sets weights. 2. desearch_api_process: API service run by uvicorn workers, which serves the API endpoints. 3. desearch_autoupdate: This script will check for updates every 30 minutes, if there is an update then it will pull it, install packages and restart 2 processes above and then restart itself.
