Step 3: Run Datagram CLI with Your API Key

1. Start a new screen session to keep the program running in the background:

   screen -S datagram

2. Run the CLI with your API Key (replace YOUR_API_KEY):

   ./datagram-cli run -- -key YOUR_API_KEY

3. To detach from the screen session without stopping the process:

   Press:

   Ctrl + A then D
   

4. To reattach to the screen session:

   screen -r datagram

Additional Notes

• Make sure your API Key is valid and active.
• Use screen so the node keeps running even after you log out.
• You can always reattach to the screen to monitor the node.
