Run the JS Device

Please assure this step has been done before starting the device

1. Set and export an environment variable with the information needed from the virtual device. This information was prepared by the UniquID CLI when you run the uniquid deploy aws command. The information was stored on the file ~/aws_device_cfg.json Run the command:

   export AWS_AGENT_CONFIG=$(cat ~/aws_device_cfg.json)

2. Check the correct setup with:

   echo $AWS_AGENT_CONFIG

3. In the aws-virtual-device-js directory, run the command

   npm start

The virtual device will start to check for a contract with the UniquID Authorizer until you create an UniquID Contract. When found, the device will start to try the connection to the AWS IoT. When the connection successful, device will start to publish on AWS IoT MQTT.
