# Node Installation

## [EXPLORER](https://explorer.stavr.tech/GravityBridge/)

* **Minimum hardware requirements**:

| Node Type | CPU | RAM  | Storage |
| --------- | --- | ---- | ------- |
| Mainnet   | 8   | 16GB | 250GB   |

## 1) Auto\_install script

```bash
wget -O gravitym https://raw.githubusercontent.com/111STAVR111/props/main/Gravity/gravitym && chmod +x gravitym && ./gravitym
```

## 2) Manual installation

#### Preparing the server

```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install curl tar wget clang pkg-config libssl-dev jq build-essential bsdmainutils git make ncdu gcc git jq chrony liblz4-tool -y
```

### GO 1.21.6

```bash
ver="1.21.6"
wget "https://golang.org/dl/go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
rm "go$ver.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin" >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
go version
```

## Build 05.09.25
