• Prerequisite: Make sure you have Node.js installed.

• Step 1: Download the latest World Hash Launcher.

• Step 4: Enter your configuration options when prompted:

  • IPFS API URL: The local API URL of your IPFS node.

  • IPFS Gateway URL: The local gateway of your IPFS node.

    Hint: If you use the brave browser, you can find this information by navigating to: brave://ipfs-internals/
