It can take several minutes for `rippled` to sync with the rest of the network, during which time it outputs warnings about missing ledgers.
It can take several minutes to sync with the rest of the XRP Ledger network, during which time the server outputs various warnings. For information about log messages, see [Understanding Log Messages](understanding-log-messages.html).
For information about `rippled` log messages, see [Understanding Log Messages](understanding-log-messages.html).
After your `rippled` has synchronized with the rest of the network, you have a fully functional stock `rippled` server that you can use for local signing and API access to the XRP Ledger. Use [`rippled` server states](rippled-server-states.html) to tell whether your `rippled` server has synchronized with the network. You can use the [`rippled` commandline interface](get-started-using-http-websocket-apis.html#commandline) to test this quickly:
You can use the [`rippled` commandline interface](get-started-using-http-websocket-apis.html#commandline) to see if your server is synced with the network:
{% if currentpage.md == "tutorials/manage-the-rippled-server/installation/build-run-rippled-ubuntu.md" or
currentpage.md == "tutorials/manage-the-rippled-server/installation/build-run-rippled-macos.md" %}
$ ./rippled server_info
./rippled server_info
{% else %}
$ /opt/ripple/bin/rippled server_info
/opt/ripple/bin/rippled server_info
{% endif %}
For more information about communicating with your `rippled` server using the rippled APIs, see the [rippled API reference](rippled-api.html).
If the `server_state` in the response is `full` or `proposing`, then your server is fully synced to the network. Otherwise, you may need to wait longer. Fresh servers usually sync within 15 minutes; servers that already have [ledger history](ledger-history.html) stored can take longer.
Once you have your stock `rippled` server running, you may want to consider running it as a validating server. For information about validating servers and why you might want to run one, see [Run rippled as a Validator](run-rippled-as-a-validator.html).
After your server has synchronized with the rest of the network, you have a fully functional XRP Ledger peer-to-peer server that you can use to submit transactions or get API access to the XRP Ledger. See [Client Libraries](client-libraries.html) or [HTTP / WebSocket APIs](rippled-api.html) for different ways to communicate with the server.
Having trouble getting your `rippled` server started? See [rippled Server Won't Start](server-wont-start.html).
If you use the XRP Ledger for your business or you just want to contribute to the stability of the network, you should run one server as a validator. For information about validating servers and why you might want to run one, see [Run rippled as a Validator](run-rippled-as-a-validator.html).
