6️⃣ Node Installation
Node Setup
Starting from this point, you’ll be setting up your Privanetix node. Make sure to carefully follow each step and store all sensitive information securely.
Pull the node image:
docker pull privasea/acceleration-node-beta:latest
Create working directory:
mkdir -p ~/privanode/config && cd ~/privanode
7️⃣ Create Wallet

privasea/acceleration-node-beta:latest ./node-calc new_keystore
Critical Security Step
Store your wallet password and all generated information in a secure location. You will need this information for future operations and recovery.
