Launch Node

This page explains how to add a node to your Yak configuration. Nodes execute commands under the coordination and management of the master Yak.

When deploying a new node, a host.key file must be placed in the same directory as the node executable. This key file contains the connection information for your master Yak. If the master Yak’s listening IP address changes, you must update the host.key file on all nodes.

1️⃣ Install the node

  • Copy yaknode.exe to your target server
  • Copy hosy.key to your target server and place it in the same folder as yaknode.exe

2️⃣ Launch the node

  • Execute the following command on your server based on your OS

  • Windows:

    yaknode.exe --name TestNode

  • Unix:

    ./yaknode --name TestNode

Upong successful connection the node will now show up in the task editor for selection. You can now route commands to your node.
