If you are running a full node, the recommended requirements are as follows :&#x20;

* CPU with 4+ cores&#x20;
* 8G+ RAM&#x20;
* SSD with at least 200GB of free space
* 100+Mbit/s network bandwidth&#x20;
* 30303/UDP and 30303/TCP should be accessible from other peers
* Linux Operating System (others may work, but Linux is preferred)

If you are running an archive node (full node with all historical states), you need a larger disk:&#x20;

* SSD with at least 1TB of free space&#x20;
