Create a context using the Admin Dashboard​

  2. Use the "Browse" button to select an application from the list.

Create context using interactive CLI​

After you starting the node following instructions, interactive CLI will be available within the same terminal.

Interactive CLI

NOTE: You can see available commands in terminal: call, peers, pool, gc, context, application. In this example we will be using commands for context and application.

Step 1: Install the Application​

Run the following command to install the application:

application install url {url} {metadata}

NOTE: metadata example:

'{"contractAppId": "<application_id>"}'

You can find the application URL and contractAppId by opening Application Details from Applications section of the Admin Dashboard.

You can also install an app that you have available locally with file:

application install file {path/to/file}

Application details

contractApplicationId is the id of application stored in the contract. Value is optional but if provided, it enables Admin Dashboard to extract and display the application metadata.

Example
application install url https://blobby-public.euw3.prod.gcp.calimero.network/bafkreihl5o6etrnpy7dlgixz3onbfb3og4dll2yqsqaebqakuldk6e2qya '{"contractAppId": "980265ba072119a9074e429dea477e1c084a94e8d9f645c0158680e6942fb99e"}'
