# Run a node

**Before starting the installation, make sure to verify that the worker cluster is active. You can do this by checking the status of your node.**

```
sudo kubectl get nodes
```

Now that the entire environment is up and running, all that's left is to save the [files](/polygon/kubernetes/files.md) with a .yaml extension and execute them.\\

```
sudo kuebctl apply -f deploy-storage.yaml
sudo kubectl apply -f deploy.yaml
```

**To check whether the polygon node is running, you can check the status of the pod.**

```
sudo kubectl get deploy -o wide
```

To check the logs you can pass the name of the pod plus the name of the container you want to view, example:

```
sudo kubectl logs -f polygon-sentry-deployment-cc9449857-9f95k -c heimdall
```
