To be able to set up GraphSense with all its components more efficiently on a cluster, we offer a central repository ([graphsense-setup](https://github.com/graphsense/graphsense-setup)) to control the setup procedure. | ||

**Q: How often is the data updated?** | ||
|
||
That depends on how often you parse and ingest relevant raw data (blockchains, exchange rates, etc.) and subsequently run the transformation procedure. The [GraphSense Lib](https://github.com/graphsense/graphsense-lib) repository allows to do contentious updates without running the full transformation (see delta-updates). We currently trigger this manually for demo purposes, but it could be automated using a cron job. | ||
GraphSense itself is just a piece of software; or actually several pieces. [Iknaio](https://ikna.io) provides a hosted version and updates the data near real-time. | ||
