git clone https://github.com/c0nf1den71al/Lodestar-Forge.git

Step 2: Access the Project Directory

cd Lodestar-Forge

Step 3: Configure Environment Variables

Copy the example.env file to .env and update the required environment variables.

cp example.env .env

Step 4: Start Forge

Finally, use Docker Compose to start Forge:

docker compose up

Alternatively, you can start Forge in development mode:

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

With this setup, you’ll have a ready-to-use Forge instance to start building your infrastructure.
