# Full Node Instructions
After successfully creating the binaries, you can proceed to run the full node.
### **Steps to run a successful TAN-chain on the local system -**
* Generate data directories for each of the 4 nodes
* Prepare multiaddr string for bootnode
* Copy and paste the [*genesis file*](https://devnet-taral.tarality.com/)
* Running all servers and node.
Let’s see the steps one by one -
To do so, navigate to your root directory and create a new folder. For consistency, let's name this folder "run", though you're free to choose any name you prefer.
```
cd Tan-chain-network
mkdir run
```
This will navigate you to the "TAN-chain-network" directory and create a new folder named "run" within it. This folder will serve as the directory for running your full node.
```
cd run
```
Once you're inside the "run" folder, you can proceed with initializing the data directories for your TAN-chain node.
#### Initialize the data directory with
```
../tan-chain secrets init --insecure --data-dir test-chain-1
```
This will generate the data directory for node one with name “test-chain-1”.
**test-chain-1** *here acts as a prefix for node directory.* You can name it as per your convenience.
Example 🎉-
After initializing the data directory, it's time to create the genesis file.
To create the `genesis.json` file and populate it with the contents provided, follow these steps:-
* In your terminal, ensure you are still within the "run" directory.
* Create a new JSON file named `genesis.json` using your preferred text editor or terminal command. For example-
```
touch genesis.json
```
* Open the `genesis.json` file in your text editor or using a command-line text editor like `nano` or `vim`.
* Copy the contents of the genesis file from the [provided link](https://devnet-taral.tarality.com/).
* Paste the copied contents into the `genesis.json` file.
* Save and close the file. If you're using a text editor, follow its specific instructions for saving and closing files.
Once you've completed these steps, your `genesis.json` file should be created and populated with the appropriate content.
