• Your metamask wallet is installed on your local machine or another compatible device.

Step 1: Install metamask

To install Metamask, follow these steps:

Step 2: Create a new metamask wallet

Create a new wallet for your private blockchain running the following command:

`Bash

Metamask Createwallet -Networkid 14333

`

Replace 14333 'with desired network ID. This will ask you to configure a password and generate a seed sentence.

• Navigate to the directory where you installedGeth.

Bash

CD/PATH/TO/YOU/GETH/INSTALLATION/Directory

`

• Run the following command to start the Ethereum node:

`Bash

./bin/geth-networkid 14333 &

`

This will start the Ethereum node at port 8545.

`Bash

Npm install -g metamask@latest

`

• Make sure your metamask wallet is updated and compatible with the Ethereum node version.

• Make sure there are configuration errors or incorrect settings in the metamask browser extension.

Troubleshooting tips
