 Initialize the chain config for the full node, lets call it `FullNode` and set the chain ID to your rollup chain ID:
 
 ```bash
-rollkit init FullNode --chain-id=your-rollup-chain-id

 Copy the genesis file from the sequencer node:

 ### Start the Full Node
 
+We are now ready to run our full node. If we are running the full node on the same machine as the sequencer, we need to make sure we update the ports to avoid conflicts. 
+
+Make sure to include these flags with your start command:
+
+```sh
+  --rpc.laddr tcp://127.0.0.1:46657 \
+  --grpc.address 127.0.0.1:9390 \
+  --p2p.laddr "0.0.0.0:46656" \
+  --api.address tcp://localhost:1318
+```
+
 Run your full node with the following command:
 
 ```bash
 rollkit start --rollkit.aggregator=false \
   --rollkit.da_address http://127.0.0.1:7980 \
+  --p2p.seeds $P2P_ID@127.0.0.1:26656 \
