The script will also download the dealt config and genesis.json file to the same directory as the script itself.

It is necessary to edit the config to add validator parameters (name and key) as well as other necessary network parameters.

```
signature-provider=<EOS  … >=KEY:5j****
producer-name=<account name>
```

After changing the config, you can start node. The validator must also be registered via cleos.

```
cleos -u <NODE_ADDRESS> system regproducer <producer-name> <EOS...>
```
