### Install Kubo RPC Client

Source: https://github.com/ipfs/js-kubo-rpc-client/blob/main/README.md

Install the library using npm. This is the primary method for adding the client to your project.

```bash
npm i kubo-rpc-client
```

### Create Kubo RPC client instance from CDN in browser

Source: https://github.com/ipfs/js-kubo-rpc-client/blob/main/README.md

Example of creating an IPFS client instance in a web browser after loading the library from a CDN. Demonstrates connecting with explicit host/port or relying on window properties.

```javascript
const ipfs = window.KuboRpcClient.create({ host: 'localhost', port: 5001 })

// If you omit the host and port, the client will parse window.host
const ipfs = window.KuboRpcClient.create()
```

--------------------------------

### Configure and run IPFS daemon

Source: https://github.com/ipfs/js-kubo-rpc-client/blob/main/README.md

Commands to check and set the IPFS API port in the configuration, and to start the daemon. Ensure the API port is correctly configured before interacting with the client.

```sh
# Show the ipfs config API port to check it is correct
> ipfs config Addresses.API
/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001
# Set it if it does not match the above output
> ipfs config Addresses.API /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001
# Restart the daemon after changing the config

# Run the daemon
> ipfs daemon
```

--------------------------------

### Import and create Kubo RPC client instance

Source: https://github.com/ipfs/js-kubo-rpc-client/blob/main/README.md

Demonstrates various ways to import the `create` function and instantiate the IPFS client, connecting to a local daemon via default, multiaddr, options, or specific API paths.

```javascript
import { create } from 'kubo-rpc-client'

// connect to ipfs daemon API server
const ipfs = create('http://localhost:5001') // (the default in Node.js)

// or connect with multiaddr
const ipfs = create('/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001')

// or using options
const ipfs = create({ host: 'localhost', port: '5001', protocol: 'http' })

// or specifying a specific API path
const ipfs = create({ host: '1.1.1.1', port: '80', apiPath: '/ipfs/api/v0' })
```

--------------------------------

### Add Data to IPFS

Source: https://github.com/ipfs/js-kubo-rpc-client/blob/main/README.md

Example of adding data to IPFS using the 'add' method. This operation returns an object containing the content identifier (CID).

```javascript
// call Core API methods
const { cid } = await client.add('Hello world!')
```
