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 400G

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.
