Node Usage

The Controller is responsible for starting and stopping all node functions. Flare is a meld of multple technologies and The Controller abstracts them away into a unified interface.

Future implementations may provide more commands but now there are only two. start and stop. To use the node interface run the command controller located in the path node/controller. The node frontend can be viewed at http://localhost:35273/ in any modern browser. The sections below document the frontend features.
