Preliminary Steps

Preliminary Steps

The nym-node binary was built in the building nym section. If you haven't yet built Nym and want to run the code, go there first.

There are a couple of steps that need completing before starting to set up your nym-node:

  1. Prepare your wallet: desktop (opens in a new tab) or CLI.
  2. Requisition and setup a VPS (Virtual Private Server)

Make sure to follow these steps carefully as it prevents a lot of troubleshooting later on.
