Connecting your Node

To connect your node and begin training, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the RL Swarm repo.

2. Run the following command, and install any necessary dependencies:

python3 -m venv .venv

source .venv/bin/activate

./run_rl_swarm.sh

1. If you would like to connect your node to the Testnet, press Y when prompted.

2. Select the swarm you would like to join, as well as your model size, when prompted.

3. Log in with your email address when prompted; this connects your node to your onchain address. Note: if you’re on a VM, you'll need to open a browser window and navigate to http://localhost:3000/ to prompt the log-in flow.
4. If you would like to upload your model to Hugging Face, enter your Hugging Face access token when prompted. You can generate one from your Hugging Face account, under Access Tokens.

5. Track your progress on the dashboard that corresponds to your swarm. You can find some of the initial ones here.
