Node Setup

System Requirements

Ensure your local hardware meets the following baseline requirements before initiating the sovereign stack.

• Docker Desktop (Recommended for isolation)
• Python 3.10+ (System Path Enabled)
• Git Version Control
• Cloudflare Zero Trust Token (Note: Ngrok deprecated)

1. Secure the Perimeter

Clone the Coreframe repository and initialize your local secret vault. Never share your .env file.

# Clone and enter repository
git clone https://github.com/arhantbarmate/nexus-core.git
cd nexus-core

# Create local vault configuration
copy .env.example .env

Note: Paste your Cloudflare Token into .env. Localhost simulation is available without a token.

2. Ignite the Node

Utilize the Sovereign Master Controller to manage the Brain and Vault layers.

Windows: Run start_nexus.bat

Linux/macOS: Run ./start_nexus.sh

# Select Option 1 for Production or Option 3 for Simulation
start_nexus.bat

3. Build the UI

Engineers compiling the Body from source should target the root base-href.

cd client
flutter build web --release --base-href "/"

Integrity Audit

Perform the following protocol checks to ensure the node is NOMINAL.

• Brain: Verify OpenAPI schema at /docs.
• Ingress: Check handshake via public URL or localhost.
• Vault: Run the 1-Million Transaction Stress Test.
