# 6.2.2 Dashboard setup

A “Dashboard” is a special node component that allows you to execute individual node commands, as well as monitor the network. The service is located inside a separate container and may not be available for this node. It is installed separately.

* The server is installed from the directory into which dgt is loaded with the command:

```
bash upDgtDashboard.sh -CB openssl
```

In case of successful installation, DASHBOARD becomes available for the node’s IP:

`http://[NODE_IP]:8003/`, for example, <http://192.168.1.53:8003/>. In response to loading, the browser (Dashboard) displays a panel with main sections presenting information about the network

* Network – presents basic information about the node and the overall topology
* Nodes – detailed information on the network topology, node roles, and existing dependencies
* Transactions – information on processed transactions
* Ledger – a representation of the DAG graph (related packages).
* Batches – information on transaction batches
* Dev – additional developer tools, including creating test transactions

When installing a node, use the following checklist to ensure the right sequence of steps for guaranteeing success:

Build the main kernel version with the «<code>bash upDgtCluster.sh -G -SC -CB openssl 1 1</code>» command.  After loading additional components and the build process, the container startup process should complete successfully, including the launch of the validator, bgt, xcert, settings, and API services.</td><td>▢</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Start DGT CLI</td><td>Check the ability to access the DGT CLI using the command «<code>docker exec -it shell-dgt-c1-1 bash</code>». In case of successful access to the node’s command interpreter, return to the operating system command line (“<code>exit</code>” command).</td><td>▢</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Build Dashboard</td><td><p>Build the DGT Dashboard service using the «<code>bash upDgtDashboard.sh -CB openssl</code>» command.</p><p>After the assembly is completed, open the Dashboard service page (<code>http://[NODE_IP]:8003/</code>) in the browser window of your workstation. The browser page should load in response.</p></td><td>▢</td></tr></tbody></table>
