Server specifications:

Minimum Requirements:

8 vCPU
8 GB RAM (better with 16GB RAM)
SSD drive (NVME recommended) with at least 100GB storage

2. Set up the server on your PC.

Log in using the command root@ip.

But before that, we recommend securing your server. Read more in our article.

The INK node uses the following ports: TCP ports: 8545
8546
30303

Before installing the node, make sure these ports are not in use.

Example Usage: Installing the Node

Step 1: Check the ports

Check the ports before installation with Command 1.

Step 2: Install Node

From the main menu, enter 2 to choose the Install Node option.

‼️ After that, the installation kicks off. It’s going to download a file that’s over 30 GB. Once unpacked, the node will need more than 70 GB, so make sure your server has at least 100 GB of storage for the INK node.
