Configure Coordinator

Install coordinator CLI

The Zkopru coordinator will synchronize the Zkopru chain, check for fraud, and optionally submit transactions and bid on auction rounds. To start install the Zkopru CLI:

$ npm install -g @zkopru/cli

A coordinator can now be run using zkopru-coordinator.

The coordinator has a number of options that can be configured via cli flags or a configuration file.

Configuration File

All command line flags may be supplied in a json file. This file should be passed in using --config. Any cli flags will override config file settings.

Generate Config

Zkopru includes a config generator that can be run using zkopru-coordinator --generateConfig. This will start an interactive process allowing you to select values for a configuration file. This file is a good starting point for further customization.
