System Requirements
To ensure a smooth experience, consider the following:
Hardware Configuration: Verify that your hardware meets the requirements.
Prerequisites & Installation: Ensure you have the necessary prerequisites and packages installed on your machine.
Hardware Configuration
This outlines the necessary hardware specifications for establishing an Junction node
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
RAM | 4GB | 8GB |
CPU (amd64/x86 architecture) | 2 core | 4 core |
Storage (SSD) | 50-100 GB | 200-300 GB |
While there's no specific preference for an operating system, it's advisable to opt for more secure and stable Linux server distributions, such as Ubuntu, rather than desktop operating systems like macOS or Windows. Furthermore, as the network expands, the minimum storage needs will evolve. To ensure a stable operation of a full node, it's recommended to exceed these minimum requirements.
Prerequisites & Installation
Our node setup manuals are crafted specifically for Linux distributions with apt compatibility, such as Debian. Moreover, deploying nodes on cloud servers has become a standard approach in the industry.
