# Node Installation

## [EXPLORER](https://explorer.stavr.tech/Composable-Mainnet)

* **Minimum hardware requirements**:

| Node Type | CPU | RAM  | Storage |

## 1) Auto\_install script

```bash
source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/111STAVR111/props/refs/heads/main/Composable/picam)
```

## 2) Manual installation

#### Preparing the server
