## Integrating IPFS with Ethereum

### Installation and usage

* **Install IPFS**: Follow the instructions on the IPFS installation page.
* **Initialize IPFS**: Run `ipfs init` to initialize the IPFS repository.
* **Start the IPFS daemon**: Run `ipfs daemon` to start the IPFS daemon.
* **Add files to IPFS**: Use the command `ipfs add <file>` to add files to IPFS. This will return a CID (Content Identifier).
* **Store CID on Ethereum**: Use a smart contract to store the CID on the Ethereum blockchain. You can use Solidity to create a contract that stores the CID as a string.

this makes no sense to me

* **Retrieve files from IPFS**: Use the command `ipfs cat <CID>` to retrieve files from IPFS using the CID.
* **Pinning files on IPFS**: Use the command `ipfs pin add <CID>` to pin files on IPFS, ensuring they are not garbage collected.

For more detailed instructions, refer to the IPFS documentation and the Ethereum documentation.
