Using latest nitro release (recommended)
Check out the release branch of the repository.
Notice: release branch may be force-pushed at any time.

cd nitro-testnode
Initialize the node
./test-node.bash --init

Using current nitro code
Check out the nitro repository. Use the test-node submodule of nitro repository.
Notice: testnode may not always be up-to-date with config options of current nitro node, and is not considered stable when operated in that way.
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/OffchainLabs/nitro.git
cd nitro/nitro-testnode
Initialize the node in dev-mode (this will build the docker images from source)
./test-node.bash --init --dev
To see more options, use --help
.
Working with docker containers
