Recommended Hardware & Software

Setup
We recommend using Linux or MacOS
A wallet with the WAN you wish to stake + a small amount of WAN for service fees.
You may use a cloud server such as AWS or run on bare metal. See our AWS getting started guide for more information.
If using AWS, we recommend AWS m4.xlarge with the following configuration
CPU: 4
RAM:16G
Disk 256G
For manual setup you also need:
​Docker​
Install Golang from https://golang.org/ and set GO environment variables $GOPATH and $GOROOT if you want to build from source code.
To get the most recent GWAN code from github：
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/wanchain/
​
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/wanchain/
​
$ git clone https://github.com/wanchain/go-wanchain.git
​
$ cd go-wanchain
​
$ git checkout develop
​
$ git pull
​
$ make
GWAN is compiled in this directory：build/bin/gwan
