LiquidStorage allows the read/write of data to a DAPP Service Provider’s IPFS node.

### Prerequisites

* [Zeus](/liquidapps-documentation/working-with-zeus-sdk/overview/install-zeus-and-unboxing.md) - Zeus installs eos and the eosio.cdt if not already installed
* [Kylin Account](/liquidapps-documentation/eosio-guides/testnet-creation-guides/creating-cryptokylin-account.md)

### Unbox LiquidStorage DAPP Service box

This box contains the LiquidStorage example smart contract, DAPP Service Provider node logic, unit tests, [dapp-client](/liquidapps-documentation/introduction/dapp-network-resources/liquidapps-dapp-client.md) source code and examples.

```bash
mkdir storage-dapp-service; cd storage-dapp-service
# npm install -g @liquidapps/zeus-cmd
zeus box create
zeus unbox storage-dapp-service
zeus test -c
```
