# Environments
| KEY | DEFAULT\_VALUE | DESCRIPTION |
|---------------|--------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
| ENDPOINTS | `"https://arweave.net"` | for multiple endpoints, split them with ',' |
| BATCH\_BLOCKS | `50` | how many blocks batch at one time |
| CONFIRMS | `20` | irreversibility condition |
| PTR\_PATH | `$APP_DATA/thegarii/ptr` | the file stores the block ptr for polling |
| retry | `10` | retry times when failed on http requests |
| timeout | `120_000` | timeout of http requests |
## Dev
Build the source code with `cargo build --release`.
To config the number of nodes to pull blocks from, define the env variable: `ENDPOINTS`, i.e. `export ENDPOINTS=http://178.62.222.154:1984,http://localhost:1984`.
The default node is `https://arweave.net/`.
To start estimating the total ingestion time using the following command:
```shell
./target/release/thegarii poll -h
```
To compile, set env variables and run in one go, you can use:
```shell
ENDPOINTS=http://178.62.222.154:1984,http://localhost:1984 cargo run --release -- poll -h
```
