Pre-requisite

1. Hardware recommendations

Following are the hardware recommendations by Stader for node operators

  • OS supported : Linux(Ubuntu) and MacOS (Intel based or M1)

  • CPU: 4 core processor, Architecture - AMD64 or ARM64

  • RAM: 16 GB

  • SSD: 2TB

  • Network: 25+ Mbps

  • Data cap: 2TB+/month

  • Stable electricity

2. Open system ports

A good practice for security would be to close all the ports on your system and then open only the required ports. Below is the list of ports to be opened:

  • Execution client: 30303 tcp/udp

  • Lighthouse: 9001 tcp/udp

  • Prysm: 13000 tcp and 12000 udp

3. Install wget to download Stader CLI binary

For MacOS

  • Run the command on the terminal and download brew: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh>)"

  • Install wget using the command: brew install wget

For Debian based systems like Ubuntu

  • Run the command and install wget sudo apt-get install wget -y

4. Install Docker

How to check if Docker is installed?

Check if you have docker installed on your system before installing Stader Node stack. Run the command: docker --version

  • You will see the version details if Docker is installed
