# Cloister
**The helper application to manage cluster of nodes**
## Installation
* Add the dependency to your `mix.exs` file:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:cloister, "~> 0.1"},
...
]
end
```
* Make sure both `:cloister` and `:libring` applications are configured properly in your `config.exs`
```elixir
config :cloister,
sentry: ~w|node1@127.0.0.1 node2@127.0.0.1|a,
consensus: 2
config :libring,
rings: [
cloister: [monitor_nodes: true]
]
```
* Make sure `:cloister` application is started. This does not require any action unless you have the list of applications specified explicitly. If so, add `:cloister` there.
