Near RPC
Run the node using SystemD
1. Server Requirements
| Component | Requirements |
|---|---|
| CPU | 8-Core (16-Thread) Intel i7/Xeon or equivalent with AVX support |
| Storage | 1 TB NVMe SSD is recommended |
| Ram | 20GB DDR4 |
| OS | Ubuntu 22.04 |
CPU must support AVX, check by
lscpu | grep -oh avx
If result returns nothing, that means CPU does not support AVX.
