First of all, if GETH is not installed on your computer, we download it from the official Ethereum node site, the link to which is written below.
geth ethereum org
(go-ethereum)
We extract the package we downloaded from the archive. We run it in run mode.
We open the terminal and enter the code below to switch to the virtual machine.
Switching to the Python shell
We import the Web3 module.
We run the GETH go-ethereum package that we downloaded earlier.
Thus, directory as a hidden (invisible) a geth.ipc file is created under the '/home/computernamecn/.ethereum' directory under the '/home/computernamecn/' file.
We enter the following command to establish our connection.
Finally, we check our connection.
Thus, we have connected to the Ethereum node with the IPC provider. The IPC method is said to be the most secure method on official sites and documents.
