Gaia-8GB

This is a quick guide if you're trying to run a node on a machine that doesn't meet the minimum system requirements as mentioned here

We highly recommend you run your own nodes on a machine that matches the system requirements.

Install the Gaia Node by running the command below

curl -sSfL 'https://github.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/releases/latest/download/install.sh' | bash

Run the command printed on the terminal to set up the environment path, it is started with source

Run the following command to update your config.json to run with a small language model.

gaianet init --config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/harishkotra/Gaia-8G/refs/heads/main/config_8g.json

Run the node

gaianet start

A successful start prints a public URL for the node. Opening a browser to that URL will display the node information and allow you to chat with the AI agent on the node.

Load the link printed at the end of the log (e.g., https://0x1234...wxyz.us.gaianet.network) in your browser or simply load http://localhost:8080/

Monitor the log in the terminal

tail -f ~/gaianet/log/start-llamaedge.log

To stop the node

gaianet stop
