### 3. Get Public Key of First Node
To enable nodes to discover each other, a network requires one or more nodes to be bootnodes.
For this private network, we will use Node-1 as the bootnode. This requires starting and stopping the
node and obtaining the node public key for the enode URL.
For this private network, we will use Node-1 as the bootnode. This requires obtaining the public key for the enode URL.
In the `Node-1` directory, start the node specifying the data directory created in step 1,
the genesis file created in step 2, and a network ID for your private network (`123` in this example):
```bash tab="MacOS"
pantheon --genesis=../privateNetworkGenesis.json --network-id 123 --datadir=Node-1-DataDir
```
```bash tab="Windows"
pantheon --genesis=..\privateNetworkGenesis.json --network-id 123 --datadir=Node-1-DataDir
```
A node private key for Node-1 is generated and written to the `key` file.
Wait until the node public key is displayed. For example:
`2019-01-01 05:03:27.430+10:00 | main | INFO | KeyPairUtil | Generated new key 0x5ca7eca7a9b6b8128d8b9375fe2683c43023fd1504bca31f5123bd9b086155d81d0b05a08b63c7fa1027bbd9cfa338b6c54539c72b05a56c1f52f802c87ad09c and stored it to /Users/username/Private-Network/Node-3/Node-3-DataDir/key

Stop the node using ++ctrl+c++.
Use the [`export-pub-key` subcommand](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#export-pub-key) to write
the [node public key](../Configuring-Pantheon/Node-Keys.md) to the specified file (`publicKeyNode1` in this example):
