-Open two consoles in your command line terminal.
+Launch peer 1 from the terminal:
 
-In terminal 1, run the first peer:
-
-```sh
-node index.js
+```bash
+node test.js
 ```
 
-When running, you should see the address of the database, for example:
+Once launched you will see some output which may look something like this:
 
-```sh

+It contains the libp2p address and db address. You will need both of these when connecting from peer 2.
 
-```sh
-node index.js /orbitdb/zdpuB2aYUCnZ7YUBrDkCWpRLQ8ieUbqJEVRZEd5aDhJBDpBqj

-Both peers will print new records to the terminal as the log is updated. When you stop each peer using ctrl+c, the final state of the database will be printed to the terminal. They should match.
+What is happening is the second peer is dialing the first peer on the /ip4/ address then opens the database.
