# Registration

### 1. Whitelist the operator address <a href="#install-the-othentic-cli" id="install-the-othentic-cli"></a>

Reach out to your contact within the Ungate team to whitelist you or fill out the [form here](https://forms.gle/zDCqoCUdS7qcQKNf7) to be contacted by someone within the team.

### 2. Install the Othentic CLI <a href="#install-the-othentic-cli" id="install-the-othentic-cli"></a>

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure you are running Node version 22.6 and not 22.7 . 22.7 has issues that are widely know and will cause issues with the running of the othentic-cli
{% endhint %}

Installing Othentic CLI with `npm`:

```
npm i -g @othentic/othentic-cli
```

Verify installation by the command:

```
othentic-cli -h
```

The outcome should be similar to:

```
Usage: main [options] [command]

Options:
  -v, --version     show othentic-cli version
  -h, --help        display help for command

Commands:
  node <type>       run an Othentic AVS node
  network <action>  deploy and manage your AVS network
  ...
```

CLI installation is completed.

### 3. Register the Operator <a href="#install-the-othentic-cli" id="install-the-othentic-cli"></a>

The Othentic CLI allows you to easily register your Operators.

If you do not have any Holesky ETH in your operator account, go to this faucet and request some before registration -&#x20;

<https://cloud.google.com/application/web3/faucet/ethereum/holesky>

Then, run the following command:

```
othentic-cli operator register
```

This will start up the process of registering as an Operator on both EigenLayer (if needed) and your AVS.

`Enter your private key: <OPERATOR_PRIVATE_KEY>`

`AVS Governance address - 0x1b8Ad2aB0Fa5585804Ce9E9E2C6097f0328bb05C`

`Rewards Receiver address (default: msg.sender): <Enter to go with default or enter an alternate account address to receive rewards>`
