# Stream Node ### Network Requirements High network requirements, requires an external IP address. ### Run Set environment before your operation: ``` export CHAIN_TYPE= ``` Initialize, using the \~/.stream directory by default ```shell ./stream-edge init ``` Using port 8083 by default, port 8083 needs to be accessible from the external network ```shell ./stream-edge daemon run -e EXPOSE_URL ``` For example, if the external IP is 1.2.3.4 ```bash ./stream-edge daemon run -b 0.0.0.0:8083 -e http://1.2.3.4:8083 ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
