# System Requirements

Autonomi nodes are designed to be run on everyday devices, so we can all contribute to an alternative future of the Internet with the devices we already have and not just rely on data centres and specialised equipment.

*We’d encourage you to give it a go regardless of what system you are running*. Members of our [Forum](broken://spaces/T1VY0u5KuOsTpycHpSka) community regularly operate nodes on everything from RaspberryPis, to gaming PCs, old laptops, and even some adapted phones!

But as a starting point, we’ve built the [Autonomi App](/node/downloads.md) to run on the following systems with ease.

**Windows** (Windows 10+), **Mac** (MacOS 14 Sonoma), and **Linux** (Ubuntu 24.04) computers with:

* 4 core CPU: Intel, AMD or Apple
* 8 GB ram
* Spare hard drive space for the data your node will store
* 8 Mbps Up/Down Internet service<br>

## Compatible Wallets

You'll also need a Ethereum Wallet to receive and hold tokens earned by your node.

Any Ethereum address can be used here, but you'll need to **set up a** [**compatible wallet**](/token/using-autonomi-tokens/holding/compatible-wallets.md) app in order to be able to see and use any tokens you earn.

We've got a [**step-by-step guide**](/token/using-autonomi-tokens/holding/how-to-create-a-metamask-wallet.md) on how to do that.
