Technical Requirements

The characteristics required to run a Mina node.

Block Producer recommended specifications

• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

• 8 CPU, 16 Gb RAM, 50 GB SSD

• Use SSH Client, (iTerm in MacOS or MobaXterm, PuTTY for Windows or others)

Snark Worker recommended specifications

• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

• 8+ CPU, 16+ Gb RAM, 50 GB SSD

• Use SSH Client, (iTerm in MacOS or MobaXterm, PuTTY for Windows or others)

If you use the Producer + Snark worker on the same server, you will need more than 16GB RAM. I recommend using a server with 32GB+ RAM.

SSH clients for connecting to the server:
