Operation systems

Cellframe Node software is available for the following operating systems:

Node installation above already installed node

Note

Such installation can cause some configurations modification

Chain configurations are always updated upon any node shutdown, and are sourced from the installation package. All other configurations are set according to the script /cellframe-node/share/default.setup.

This setup includes default and ensure directives:

  • default does not modify a parameter if it has been previously set by the user.
  • ensure modifies a parameter according to the script.

The procedure is as follows:

  1. Chain configuration files are initially installed to /etc.
  2. Subsequently, /cellframe-node/share/default.setup is invoked, executing the script within.
  3. The script creates configuration files from templates if they do not exist. If they do, this step is skipped.
  4. The script then iterates over specific parameters for which the ensure directive can be applied.

This process is consistent across all operating systems, with differences accounted for within the setup script.

Hardware requirements

The hardware requirements for running a node are quite low:

  • 32-bit or 64-bit operation system
  • couple CPU cores above 2.4 GHz
  • at least 4 GB of RAM
  • video memory doesn’t matter
