## Running a collator

1. Checkout polkadot at `bkchr-cumulus-branch`.
2. Build the polkadot chainspec:

`cargo run --release -- build-spec --chain=local --raw > polkadot_chainspec.json`
2. Run `Alice` and `Bob`:

Open the `polkadot_chainspec.json` and replace the `bootnodes` with: `"bootNodes": [],`
`cargo run --release -- --chain=${CUMULUS_REPO}/test/parachain/res/polkadot_chainspec.json --base-path=cumulus_relay_chain_node_0 --alice`

3. Run `Alice` and `Bob`:
`cargo run --release -- --chain=${CUMULUS_REPO}/test/parachain/res/polkadot_chainspec.json --base-path=cumulus_relay_chain_node_1 --bob --port 50666`

`cargo run --release -- --chain=local --base-path=cumulus_relay_chain_node_0 --alice`

`cargo run --release -- --chain=local --base-path=cumulus_relay_chain_node_1 --bob --port 50666`
Where `CUMULUS_REPO` is the path to the checkout of Cumulus.

3. Switch back to this repository and generate the parachain genesis state:

`cargo run --release -p cumulus-test-parachain-collator -- export-genesis-state genesis-state`

4. Run the collator:

`cargo run --release -p cumulus-test-parachain-collator -- --base-path cumulus_collator_path --chain polkadot_chainspec.json --bootnodes /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/30333/p2p/PEER_ID`
`cargo run --release -p cumulus-test-parachain-collator -- --base-path cumulus_collator_path --bootnodes /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/30333/p2p/PEER_ID --bootnodes /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/50666/p2p/PEER_ID`

`PEER_ID` needs to be replaced with the peer id of the polkadot validator that uses `Alice`
`PEER_ID_${NAME}` needs to be replaced with the peer id of the polkadot validator that uses `${NAME}`
as authority.

5. Open `https://polkadot.js.org/apps/#/sudo` and register the parachain by calling `Registrar > RegisterPara`

Now your parachain should be registered and the collator should start building blocks and sending
them to the relay chain.

6. ...

7. PROFIT!
6. Now the `collator` should build blocks and the relay-chain should include them. You can check that the `parachain-header` for parachain `100` is changing.
