+
+## Setup
+
+### Fixturenet eth stack
+
+- Clone the stack repo:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so fetch-stack git.vdb.to/cerc-io/fixturenet-eth-stacks --pull
+  ```
+
+- Clone required repositories:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/fixturenet-eth-stacks/stack-orchestrator/stacks/fixturenet-eth setup-repositories --pull
+
+  # If this throws an error as a result of being already checked out to a branch/tag in a repo, remove all repositories from that stack and re-run the command
+  # The repositories are located in $HOME/cerc by default
+  ```
+
+- Build the container images:
+
+  ```bash
+  # Remove any older foundry image with `latest` tag
+  docker rmi ghcr.io/foundry-rs/foundry:latest
+
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/fixturenet-eth-stacks/stack-orchestrator/stacks/fixturenet-eth build-containers --force-rebuild
+
+  # If errors are thrown during build, old images used by this stack would have to be deleted
+  ```
+
+  - NOTE: this will take >10 mins depending on the specs of your machine, and **requires** 16GB of memory or greater.
+
+  - Remove any dangling Docker images (to clear up space):
+
+    ```bash
+    docker image prune
+    ```
+
+- Create spec files for deployment, which will map the stack's ports and volumes to the host:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/fixturenet-eth-stacks/stack-orchestrator/stacks/fixturenet-eth deploy init --output fixturenet-eth-spec.yml
+  ```
+
+- Configure ports:
+  - `fixturenet-eth-spec.yml`
+
+    ```yml
+    ...
+    network:
+      ports:
+        fixturenet-eth-bootnode-geth:
+          - '9898:9898'
+          - '30303'
+        fixturenet-eth-geth-1:
+          - '8545:8545'
+          - '8546:8546'
+          - '40000'
+          - '6060'
+        fixturenet-eth-lighthouse-1:
+          - '8001'
+    ...
+    ```
+- Create deployments:
+  Once you've made any needed changes to the spec files, create deployments from them:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/fixturenet-eth-stacks/stack-orchestrator/stacks/fixturenet-eth deploy create --spec-file fixturenet-eth-spec.yml --deployment-dir fixturenet-eth-deployment
+  ```
+
+- Env configuration:
+
+  ```bash
+  cat <<EOF > fixturenet-eth-deployment/config.env
+  CERC_ALLOW_UNPROTECTED_TXS=true
+  EOF
+  ```
+
+### Go-nitro
+
+- Clone the stack repo:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so fetch-stack git.vdb.to/cerc-io/nitro-stack --git-ssh --pull
+  ```
+
+- Clone required repositories:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/nitro-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/nitro-node setup-repositories --git-ssh --pull
+  ```
+
+- Build the container images:
+
+    ```bash
+    laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/nitro-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/nitro-node build-containers --force-rebuild
+    ```
+
+## Run
+
+- Start fixturenet-eth stack:
+  (run steps in directory where the stack deployments had been created)
+
+  - Start `fixturenet-eth-deployment` deployment:
+
+    ```bash
+    laconic-so deployment --dir fixturenet-eth-deployment start
+    ```
+
+    - Check status of L1
+
+      - Run status check:
+
+        ```bash
+        laconic-so deployment --dir fixturenet-eth-deployment exec fixturenet-eth-bootnode-lighthouse "/scripts/status-internal.sh"
+        ```
+
+      - Check geth logs to ensure that new blocks are getting created
+
+        ```bash
+        laconic-so deployment --dir fixturenet-eth-deployment logs -f fixturenet-eth-geth-1
+        ```
+
+- Deploy nitro contracts
+  - Create a deployment spec-file for nitro contract:
+
+    ```bash
+    laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/nitro-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/nitro-contracts deploy init --output nitro-contracts-spec.yml --config "GETH_URL=http://host.docker.internal:8545,OPTIMISM_URL=http://host.docker.internal:9545,GETH_DEPLOYER_PK=888814df89c4358d7ddb3fa4b0213e7331239a80e1f013eaa7b2deca2a41a218,TOKEN_NAME=LaconicNetworkToken,TOKEN_SYMBOL=LNT,INITIAL_TOKEN_SUPPLY=129600"
+    ```
+
+  - Create a deployment `nitro-contracts` from the spec file
+   
+    ```bash
+    laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/nitro-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/nitro-contracts deploy create --spec-file nitro-contracts-spec.yml --deployment-dir nitro-contracts-deployment
+    ```
+
+  - Start `nitro-contracts` deployment:
+
+    ```
+    laconic-so deployment --dir nitro-contracts-deployment start
+  
+    # Check the logs
+    laconic-so deployment --dir nitro-contracts-deployment logs nitro-contracts -f
+    ```
