So a 4-node cluster is no more fault-tolerant than a 3-node cluster, so running a 4-node cluster provides no advantage over a 3-node cluster. Only a 5-node cluster can tolerate the failure of 2 nodes. An analogous argument applies to 5-node vs. 6-node clusters, and so on.

# Creating a cluster
# Creating a cluster
To create a cluster you must launch a node that can act as leader. Do this as follows:
With this command a single node is started, listening for API requests on port 4001 and listening on port 4002 for intra-cluster communication. This node stores its state at `~/node.1`.
To join a second node to this leader, execute the following command:
