Installing on the GCP

To install the Starknet RPC Node on the Google Cloud Platform, you can use the Juno RPC virtual machine developed by Nethermind.

Juno is a golang Starknet node implementation by Nethermind with the aim of decentralizing Starknet.

Installing Starkent RPC Juno Node VM

To quickly set up a Starkent RPC Juno Node VM environment on the Google Cloud Platform, follow these steps:

1. Search “Starknet RPC Node” in Google Marketplace and click the LAUNCH button to start the deployment process.

   

2. Select the configuration for the Juno client and click the DEPLOY button.

   

3. Post-Configuration and testing after deployment.

   

4. Enable Juno Auto Start During Startup

   1. Click the newly created VM instance name to view the detail.
   2. Click the Edit button.
   3. Go to the "Automation" section to input the startup script as below.

      #! /bin/bash
      sudo /usr/local/bin/run_juno.sh
   4. Click the Save button.
   5. Restart the VM.

5. Use Your Starknet RPC Juno Node

   You can use the Juno node and access it through Rest APIs. The following is an example to verify Juno availability.

   curl --location 'http://IP_Address:6060' \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"juno_version","params":[],"id":1}'

   The expected result is like this.

      "jsonrpc": "2.0",
      "result": "v0.9.3",
      "id": 1
   }
