Install verifier

1- Pull docker images

docker pull nillion/verifier:v1.0.1

2- Create folder

mkdir -p nillion/verifier

3- Initialize Verifier

docker run -v ./nillion/verifier:/var/tmp nillion/verifier:v1.0.1 initialise

This will output the details needed to register the accuser on the website, save them:

• accound_id: Nillion address of the accuser
• public_key: Public Key of the accuser
• Note The accuser will store the credentials in a file called credentials.json in the folder that was created. If you lose this file, you will lose access to the keys/address of the accuser

4- Check credential.json file contents

cat nillion/accuser/credentials.json

5- Send some $NIL to verifier accuser address or get faucet for it

Run Verifier

docker run -d -v ./nillion/verifier:/var/tmp nillion/verifier:v1.0.1 verify --rpc-endpoint "https://testnet-nillion-rpc.lavenderfive.com"

Stop & remove Container

docker stop CONTAINER_ID && docker rm CONTAINER_ID

Run it Again using Run Verifier command
