+This directory contains helper scripts and configuration examples for running a Vexta node.
+
+## Files
+
+- vexta.conf.example
+- vexta-mainnet.conf
+- vexta-testnet.conf
+- vexta-regtest.conf
+- install-node.sh
+- start-mainnet.sh
+- stop-node.sh
+
+## Running a local node
+
+Copy one of the example configuration files into your data directory:
+
+cp vexta-mainnet.conf ~/.vexta/vexta.conf
+
+Start the node:
+
+vextad -daemon
+
+Stop the node:
+
+vexta-cli stop
+
+Check blockchain status:
+
+vexta-cli getblockchaininfo
+
+## Installing on Ubuntu
+
+Run the installer as a normal user with sudo access:
+
+    ./contrib/vexta/install-node.sh
+
+The script installs build dependencies, builds Vexta Core without the GUI, and installs the command-line binaries into /usr/local/bin.
