## ◇ Set up flow <a href="#id-6c6f" id="id-6c6f"></a>

1. Preparation
2. Install EMETH Node
3. Launch EMETH Node

## 1. Preparation <a href="#id-28c6" id="id-28c6"></a>

### (1) Checking up hardware requirement <a href="#db2c" id="db2c"></a>

**■ Recommended Hardware Requirement**

```
- Windows 10 or higher
- CPU: Equivalent to Intel Core i5–10400 4.3 GHz or higher
- GPU: Equivalent to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (24GB RAM) or higher
- Memory: At least double the RAM of the above GPU
- Disk: 256GB or more, 1~2TB recommended for ample space
- Power Supply: Capable of supporting the above configuration
- Note: Current job categories do not support AMD Radeon
```

### (2) Install Docker <a href="#id-7057" id="id-7057"></a>

Install Docker Desktop 4.27.1 (136059)

<https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/><br>

### (3)Prepare MATIC <a href="#id-07f6" id="id-07f6"></a>

* Prepare Metamask wallet for node set up, and send MATIC to that wallet.

*Note: Each job execution costs slightly less than 0.1 MATIC (approximately 0.05\~0.07 MATIC). It is recommended to prepare about 150 MATIC.*
