Getting Started

Use Nit Module

A step-by-step guide for how to run the Nit command line tool is provided below.

Step 1: Install Nit

Install Nit if it is not yet installed

yarn global add @numbersprotocol/nit

If it is your first time running Nit, let us initialize with the default configuration

nit init

The configuration allows users to input their personal information. If you would like to edit the configurations, run the following command

nit config -e

And, create a working directory for the targeting asset

mkdir ~/temp && cd ~/temp

Step 2: Create assetTree

Run nit add to create the assetTree of the media file

nit add <asset-filepath> -m "Initializing assetTree."

You can check to see if the information you hope to commit meet your expectations by running

nit status

To access the assetTree file, you can use browser to open the URL: https://<Nid of the assetTree file>.ipfs.dweb.link

Step 3: Commit

nit commit -m "My first commit for the asset."

Now, you can check the Commit on the blockchain by following the explorer URL returned by Nit. For more details and how to get on-chain information such as block numbers, please visit Nit repository.
