Description:
-----------

Create node and use certificate files.

This command is very similar to :ref:`orb-node-create`, the difference being that instead of taking certificate and macaroon data, it takes in paths to those files, with:

`--mac-file-path=...`
`--cert-file-path=...`

This is practical for creating nodes after certificates and macaroons have been copied locally.
