# How to run a Wownero node
Running a Wownero node is very simple.

## Requirements
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.

### Step 1
Download and extract the latest wownero CLI from [https://git.wownero.com/wownero/wownero/releases](WowGit)

### Step 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.
