Verify Installation

• The Celestia Light Client can be accessed only after the Compute Instance is provisioned. Thus, you need to wait for the installation to complete before you can start using it.
• As the node starts, the Instance Logs will display the output about the operations performed. If you see this in your logs, you have a running node.
