3. Open a terminal in the path where you want to install the node and run the copied command.

   git clone 'https://github.com/stormdotdev/stormnode.git' &&
   > cd stormnode &&
   > node -e "require('https').get('https://storm.dev/jsonnode/5020flqjed0949502214ayq27kcp1vj20054fa0846/stormnode.json', f => {f.pipe(require('fs').createWriteStream('stormnode.json'));});" &&
   > npm install --production

4. Start the node with the command

   node stormnode.js -v

   You will see in the terminal the node version, the node id and the connection succes alert.

   ver. 0.1.54
   Node_id: storm-4ayq-kcp1vjflqjed
   connected

5. If you refresh the node page after about ten seconds you will see the box of your node change. The box will show the IP, the nation and the status dot (green-active, red-offline).
6. After a few tens of seconds the node will automatically call the host info function.

   If the node name (tutorial) has not changed yet, the default name (which previously coincided with the id), if you refresh the nodes page, the name will be changed to the host name.
