# Running a Node
> TODO: Improve documentation of `gaiad`
## Basics
To start a node:
```shell
$ gaiad start <flags>
```
Options for running the `gaiad` binary are effectively the same as for `tendermint`.
See `gaiad --help` and the
[guide to using Tendermint](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/docs/using-tendermint.md)
for more details.
## Debugging
Optionally, you can run `gaiad` with `--trace-store` to trace all store operations
to a specified file.
```shell
$ gaiad start <flags> --trace-store=/path/to/trace.out
```
Key/value pairs will be base64 encoded. Additionally, the block number and any
correlated transaction hash will be included as metadata.
e.g.
```json
...
{"operation":"write","key":"ATW6Bu997eeuUeRBwv1EPGvXRfPR","value":"BggEEBYgFg==","metadata":{"blockHeight":12,"txHash":"5AAC197EC45E6C5DE0798C4A4E2F54BBB695CA9E"}}
{"operation":"write","key":"AjW6Bu997eeuUeRBwv1EPGvXRfPRCgAAAAAAAAA=","value":"AQE=","metadata":{"blockHeight":12,"txHash":"5AAC197EC45E6C5DE0798C4A4E2F54BBB695CA9E"}}
{"operation":"read","key":"ATW6Bu997eeuUeRBwv1EPGvXRfPR","value":"BggEEBYgFg==","metadata":{"blockHeight":13}}
{"operation":"read","key":"AjW6Bu997eeuUeRBwv1EPGvXRfPRCwAAAAAAAAA=","value":"","metadata":{"blockHeight":13}}
...
```
You can then query for the various traced operations using a tool like [jq](https://github.com/stedolan/jq).
```shell
$ jq -s '.[] | select((.key=="ATW6Bu997eeuUeRBwv1EPGvXRfPR") and .metadata.blockHeight==14)' /path/to/trace.out
```
