To set up your platform, you will need:

* An x86 host \(AMD or Intel\)
* A virtual machine or AWS instance with at least 2 cores
* 8GB of RAM and at least 10GB of free disk space
* A recent version of Linux

**Note** The node can be built and run on other operating systems, including Windows and MacOSX, but we recommend that
stake pool operators use Linux to take advantage of the associated performance advantages. If you are building on Windows, we recommend using WSL2 under Windows 10 as this provides a development and execution environment that is very similar to Ubuntu.
