+# Monitor Node Setup
+
+FIndy monitoring node setup is based on the [monitoring node implementation made available by the VON network](https://github.com/bcgov/von-network/blob/master/server/anchor.py).
+Instructions for running the VON Network can be found from their [Github project](https://github.com/bcgov/von-network).
+
+## Pre-Requisites
+
+Following information is needed in order to run the monitoring node:
+
+* Access to pool transaction genesis file `pool_transactions_genesis` stored in a known location.
+
+## AWS EC2 Instance Setup
+
+Following is an example setup for monitoring node in AWS EC2:
+
+* Instance type: `t2.micro`
+* OS: Ubuntu 18.04
+* Disk space: 8Gb
+
+## Creation of DID for Monitoring Node
+
+Following commands need to be run in a FIndy Steward Node in order to create DID for monitor node with the correct role:
+
+```
+pool create findy-dev-ledger gen_txn_file=<location of pool_transactions_genesis file>
+pool connect findy-dev-ledger
+did new seed=******* metadata="network monitor"
+ 
+Did "<monitor node DID>" has been created with "<monitor node verkey>" verkey
+Metadata has been saved for DID "<monitor node DID>"
+ 
+did use <steward DID>
+ledger nym did=<monitor node DID> role=NETWORK_MONITOR verkey=<monitor node verkey>
+ledger get-nym did=<monitor node DID>
+```
+
+Seed from the above commands should be stored to monitor node `/home/ubuntu/network_monitor_seed`.
+
+## Running Monitor Node
+
+Monitor node can be run with following commands:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/bcgov/von-network.git
+cd von-network/
+ 
+ 
+virtualenv --python=python3.6 venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install libnacl python3-indy
+ 
+sudo apt-get install libsodium23 libsodium-dev
+sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 68DB5E88
+sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://repo.sovrin.org/sdk/deb xenial stable"
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install -y libindy
+ 
+GENESIS_FILE=/home/ubuntu/pool_transactions_genesis LEDGER_SEED=`cat /home/ubuntu/network_monitor_seed` python -m server.server &> ~/web-server.log &
+```
+
+Restarting the instance requires removing `/home/ubuntu/.indy-client`.
