thanks and I was able to set it up (needed to sudo the n its, but went well, few warnings only)  
however after creating identity successfully, the 3 multimode instructions end up as “multimode: command not found”…

littleskunk always on fire, thanks for the support  
unfortunately this did not go through  
I had issues compiling as my go was too old, updated to latest version, compiled again all with few warnings 😕

sounds like multimode is not recognised as an app, but identity was, and if I am not mistaken, identity is also go app?

`which identity` will tell you if it is running the identity binary in your go directory or from some other unexpected location. On my machine I have 3 different identity versions somewhere deep in my system. That can get confusing.

That is not the one you are currently compiling and it does mean that you will find the multinode binary in the path that I have written above.

thanks for your efforts @littleskunk but I believe I will give up now as not good enough in compiling stuff on Linux… will need to wait for a multimode dashboard for dummies" step by step tutorial. but much appreciated your support!

You are so close. You should have the binary already.

`cd $HOME/go/bin`

`which go` tells me /usr/local/go/bin/go  
sounds like something is going wrong when compiling but to be noticed, in the listed

> cd $HOME/multinode  
> go install ./cmd/multinode  
> go install ./cmd/identity  
> cd web/multinode  
> npm install  
> npm run build

I need to sudo the last `npm run build` and trust the issue comes from here as it seems I don’t have same path as su _vs_ as std user

giving it another try, I get the below error when restarting all form beginning:

so `git clone`, `go install multinode`, `go install identity npm install` look fine (few warnings on npm install for optional dependencies skipped) and upon `npm build`, sh\*tstorm starts with the above errors. running `npm build` as `sudo` allows setup to complete as success but `multinode` is not recognised as a valid command  
and, not master of npm nor of go, but cannot really locate which file is considered exec/is go working like implicit `go multinode` when inputting `multinode` as an executable?

Hello,  
It took me a while to follow instructions, more than 1 hour for zero result.  
Finally build it on macosX, go it running, generated API Key for a node.  
but unable to +New Node  
Set Node ID; public IP in http://…:port ; API key  
push create, nothing happens. nothing in logs.  
Checked trice my inputs.  
I also had to guess I needed to build storagenode go binary to generate api-key.  
The storagenode container could be directly invoked in interactive mode.  
Voila

That part is wrong. You have to insert ip:port only. Port should be the same port you have forwarded for the communication to the satellite.

Could someone upload compiled versions of multinode and npm folder? I’ve managed to compile multinode myself, but can’t cope with npm.

@littleskunk, I finally got back to this and got it working. Thanks for the instructions and the additional help.

Based on that _Earned_ column looks like I’ll be able to retire a bit earlier than originally planned, which is an added bonus.
