Installing Ethereum:

Linux: To install Ethereum on Linux, follow these steps:

Open the terminal.
Add the Ethereum repository with the command:
Copy
```
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
```
Update the package list:
Copy
```
sudo apt-get update
```
Install Ethereum:
Copy
```

    --http: Enables the HTTP-RPC server. This allows interaction with the node via HTTP requests.
    --http.port 2225: Sets the port for the HTTP-RPC server. HTTP requests to interact with the node will be served on this port.
    --http.addr 0.0.0.0: Sets the HTTP-RPC server address to listen on all interfaces. Allows external connections to the HTTP-RPC server.
    --http.vhosts "*": Sets the allowed virtual hosts for the HTTP-RPC server. All hosts are allowed.
    --http.corsdomain "*": Sets the CORS domain for the HTTP-RPC server. Allows cross-origin requests from any domain.
    --http.api "clique,debug,eth,net,txpool": Sets the enabled HTTP-RPC APIs. Specifies the APIs that can be accessed via HTTP-RPC.
    --allow-insecure-unlock console: Allows insecure unlocking of the account and starts the JavaScript console. This parameter is used when unlocking an account for mining. However, it's important to note that using insecure unlock methods can pose security risks and should be used with caution, especially in production environments.
  3. The node will start synchronizing the blockchain. This process may take some time depending on your internet connection speed and the current size of the blockchain.
  4. Once synchronization is complete, your Ethereum node is ready to use. You can interact with the node through the RPC interface you activated earlier.
  Be sure to refer to the official Ethereum documentation for further information on configuring and using your Ethereum node._ADDRESS to store the Ethereum wallet address. Replace "your deepn wallet address" with your actual Ethereum wallet address.
