Command Line Interface¶

The kakitu_node binary accepts command-line arguments for configuration, diagnostics, and maintenance tasks.

Basic Usage¶

kakitu_node [OPTIONS] COMMAND

For Docker:

docker exec kakitu-node kakitu_node [OPTIONS] COMMAND

Daemon¶

Start the node daemon:

kakitu_node daemon [OPTIONS]

Option	Description
`--network=live`	Main network (default)
`--network=test`	Test network
`--network=beta`	Beta network
`--data_path=PATH`	Override ledger data directory
`--config KEY=VALUE`	Override a specific config value
`--daemon`	Run as a background daemon (native only)

Examples:

# Start on main network
kakitu_node daemon --network=live

# Override config inline
kakitu_node daemon --network=live \
  --config node.enable_voting=true \
  --config rpc.enable_control=true

# Custom data directory
kakitu_node daemon --network=live --data_path=/data/kakitu

Configuration Generation¶

Generate default config files:

# Node config
kakitu_node --generate_config node

# RPC config
kakitu_node --generate_config rpc

Redirect to files:

kakitu_node --generate_config node > /data/kakitu/config-node.toml
kakitu_node --generate_config rpc > /data/kakitu/config-rpc.toml

Key Generation¶

Generate a key pair from the command line:

kakitu_node --generate_keypair

Output:

Diagnostics¶

Run system diagnostics (useful for checking OpenCL GPU availability):

kakitu_node --diagnostics

Output includes: - Platform info - Available OpenCL devices - Ledger status - Network connectivity tests

Version¶

kakitu_node --version

Wallet Management (CLI)¶

Create a wallet¶

kakitu_node wallet_create

Import a seed¶

kakitu_node wallet_add_adhoc --wallet=WALLET_ID --key=PRIVATE_KEY_HEX

List wallet accounts¶

kakitu_node wallet_list --wallet=WALLET_ID

RPC as CLI¶

Send an RPC command directly without a running HTTP server:

kakitu_node rpc --network=live '{"action":"block_count"}'

This starts a temporary RPC session against the running node's IPC socket.

Ledger Operations¶

Print account info¶

kakitu_node account_info --account=kshs_3t6k35...

Print block info¶

kakitu_node block_info --hash=BLOCK_HASH
