# Run A Node With A Binary
You need ~10 GB of free disk space to run a Wownero node.
SSD is not necessary but syncing will be much faster compared to hard disk.
1. Download and extract the latest [Wownero release ](https://git.wownero.com/wownero/wownero/releases )
2. Double-click or run `wownerod` . If you are on Linux, you might have to allow execution of the daemon: `chmod +x ./wownerod`
Wait for sync, and that's it! You're now running a Wownero node.
The RPC port will be available at 34568
# Run A Node With Docker
A container image with `wownerod` is available in a few places:
A trusted and up to date one is hosted by [lalanza808/wownero ](https://hub.docker.com/u/lalanza808 ). Run it like so:
`docker run --rm -it -p 34568 -v ~/.wownero:/data/ lalanza808/wownero:v0.11.3.0 wownerod --data-dir /data`
# Run A Node With Docker-Compose And Dashboards
`lza_menace` has a project which packages open source monitoring tools Prometheus and Grafana along with some custom metrics exporters to give a whole dashboard of node and network usage.
It looks like this:
