<p>I found windows-based <a href="https://cardanode.com.au/reducing-transaction-connecting-nami-to-daedalus/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">instructions</a> for this, and looking to do it on mac. Problem is I know nothing about Windows Powershell.</p>
<p>Could someone help translate the following, suitable for mac terminal?</p>
<pre><code>$ENV:CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH = (Get-ChildItem \\.\pipe\ | Where-Object {$_.name -like &quot;cardano-node*&quot;}).FullName

Run this to check to see if the command worked.
$ENV:CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH

You should see something like
\.\pipe\cardano-node-mainnet.12768.1

Now execute the next command to start the Cardano Submit API
.\cardano-submit-api.exe --mainnet --socket-path $ENV:CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH --config .\tx-submit-mainnet-config.yaml --port 8090

You should see
Running server on 127.0.0.1:8090
</code></pre>
<p>To clarify from the above, if I export an env var, what should 'something here' be on mac/linux?<br />
<code>export CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH='something here'</code></p>
<p>As for the command to execute, I think it should just be:</p>
<p><code>.\cardano-submit-api --mainnet --socketpath CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH --config tx-submit-mainnet-config.yaml --port 8090</code></p>
<p>Only bit I'm stuck with is what the actual env var is or how it is being set above.</p>
