Erigon has been tested with Lighthouse however all other clients that support JSON-RPC should also work. Erigon has been tested with Lighthouse however all other clients that support JSON-RPC should also work.
### Multiple Instances / One Machine
Here's an example of running multiple instances of Erigon against different chains on the same machine:
Against mainnet:
```
./build/bin/erigon --datadir "<your-mainnet-data-path>" --private.api.addr=localhost:9091 -port 30303 --chain mainnet
./build/bin/rpcdaemon --datadir "<your-mainnet-data-path>" --private.api.addr=localhost:9091 --http.api=eth,debug,net,trace,web3,erigon --http.port 8546
```
As usual, use the same `datadir` and `private.api.addr` for both Erigon and RPC. Explicitly specify the chain and the other ports to make things clearer. Quote your path if it has spaces.
Against rinkeby:
```
./build/bin/erigon --datadir "<your-rinkeby-data-path>" --private.api.addr=localhost:9092 -port 30304 --chain rinkeby
./build/bin/rpcdaemon --datadir "<your-rinkeby-data-path>" --private.api.addr=localhost:9092 --http.api=eth,debug,net,trace,web3,erigon --http.port 8547
```
Same command, but use different `datadir` and different ports throughout.
