`cp /root/geth-linux-amd64-1.10.23-d901d853/keystore/YourSecretKeyhere /root/nulink`

⎘ “Replace YourSecretKeyhere with your secret key file Start with UTC and end with your worker wallet address like `UTC--2024-02-12T08-00-01.454382000Z--5a34704f9f62f6d4accc7e28775a31a8a67bcde`“

`chmod -R 777 /root/nulink`

export NULINK\_KEYSTORE\_PASSWORD=12345678

export NULINK\_OPERATOR\_ETH\_PASSWORD=12345678

**Initialize Node Configuration now**

`docker run -it --rm`

`-p 9151:9151`

`-v /root/nulink:/code`

`-v /root/nulink:/home/circleci/.local/share/nulink`

`-e NULINK_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD nulink/nulink nulink ursula init`

`--signer keystore:///code/YourSecretKeyhere`

`--eth-provider https://data-seed-prebsc-2-s2.binance.org:8545`

`--network horus`

`--payment-provider https://data-seed-prebsc-2-s2.binance.org:8545`

`--payment-network bsc_testnet`

`--operator-address Yourworkeraddress`

`--max-gas-price 10000000000`

⎘ “Just replace --Signer keystore(`YourSecretKeyhere`) and --operator-address (`YourWorkerAddress`)command with actual key and address “

Finally launch the node

`docker run --restart on-failure -d --name ursula -p 9151:9151 -v /root/nulink:/code -v /root/nulink:/home/circleci/.local/share/nulink -e NULINK_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD -e NULINK_OPERATOR_ETH_PASSWORD nulink/nulink nulink ursula run --no-block-until-ready`
