# Deploy

## Deploy to Arweave

Follow these simple steps to deploy to your Leaderboard or Crowdfunding portal to Arweave:

{% hint style="info" %}
**First of all** :bell: 

Get your wallet.json file ready and put it in your dApp root folder

For the Leaderboard:

📦KoiiX \
┗ 📜wallet.json

For Crowdfunding:

📦Fundraiser-Portal \
┗ 📜wallet.json
{% endhint %}

1. Install [arkb](https://github.com/textury/arkb) globally on your machine. arkb runs using NodeJS and NPM. You must have both installed on your machine for it to work.\
   \
   `npm install -g arkb`\
   \
   Or head to [arkb](https://github.com/textury/arkb#how-to-use) installation guide.
2. Finally, Run:\
   \
   `yarn deploy`

`yarn deploy` is a  shortcut of \
`yarn build && arkb deploy build -w wallet.json --timeout=50000 --debug`\
\
Check if everything looks good, then enter "Y" to confirm upload. \
Give it a second for your dApp to deploy to Arweave and you will receive your transaction ID.

{% hint style="warning" %}

* You will need around 0.01 AR to deploy.
* Please make sure your node version is higher than v16.13.1
* Check your node version: `node -v`
  {% endhint %}

### Track attention of your deployment

To track the attention of your deployed DApp:

1. Get the transaction `id` \
   You should get this `id` after the deployment is done. It follows this format `https://arweave.net/<txid>`&#x20;
2. Import the port. Or create your own like [this](https://github.com/koii-network/koii.X/blob/main/src/services/port/index.js).\
   `import port from "services/port";`
3. Submit your transaction `id` to the port to track it.\
   `port.propagatePoRT(id)`

### After Deployment

* Arweave info\
