I just set up a local enviroment according to https://tezos.gitlab.io/introduction/howtoget.html using the babylonnet.sh
I am not familiar with docker but I could make sure with "docker stats" that everything seems to run fine.
But I now struggle with the further documentation. The system does not know for example the
tezos-node
command. I just get a
iMac:Downloads user$ tezos-node
-bash: tezos-node: command not found
How do I interact with tezos that run within a docker container?
All interaction with the dockerized tezos-node (should) go through the
./babylonnet.sh, alphanet.sh or mainnet.sh script (the name of
the script depends on which network your node is connecting to.)
Typically, you do not interact with tezos-node directly, and indeed,
the script has few commands related to the node. Excerpt from
./babylonnet.sh --help:
./babylonnet.sh node <start|stop|status|log>
./babylonnet.sh node upgrade
./babylonnet.sh restart
instead, you communicate with the node (and through the node, with the
network), by using the tezos-client. The dockerized tezos-client
is also accessed through the ./babylonnet.sh script:
./babylonnet.sh client <COMMAND>
Pass a command to the tezos client.
To see the manual of the tezos-client (also available online), try the following:
./babylonnet.sh client man
