How can I run an Elrond node (validator)?

Question

I would like to run an Elrond validator node on my machine, but I don't know how to do it, or where to start from. Can you please help me?

Answer 1

You can check the documentation here: https://docs.elrond.com/validators/system-requirements/.

You can find all the steps needed (very nice explained) for Linux and MacOs (Windows OS is not supported).

But the main steps are:

1. Install and configure Go
2. Clone the repository
3. Build the binaries
4. Creating the node’s identity
5. Copying credentials and starting the node
