+# MultiversX multi-version node scripts
+
+These scripts allow one to use multiple versions of the MultiversX node, in sequence, to _sync_ (from the deep past) or run _import-db_ flows.
+
+**Important:** these scripts are only suitable for observers, not for validators. Furthermore, the MultiversX proxy isn't handled.
+
+## Building the artifacts
+
+Skip this flow if you choose to download the pre-built Node artifacts, instead of building them.
+
+Go must be installed beforehand.
+
+```
+PYTHONPATH=. python3 ./multiversion/build.py --workspace=~/mvx-workspace --config=./multiversion/build.json
+```
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### Python virtual environment
+
+Create a virtual environment and install the dependencies:
+
+```
+python3 -m venv ./venv
+source ./venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r ./requirements.txt --upgrade
+```
