# How to run a node - Linux

SOON UNDER CONSTUCTION

#### I use windows 10 and a virtual machine for this tutorial, but that doesn't really matter where you start from.

No need to explain how to install a virtual machine on windows 10, there are so many tutorials out there.

I prefer to use Oracle VirtualBox, this is very easy to setup and run great.

Once installed on windows 10, you can choose any linux image.

I chose manjaro, because I like it, ubuntu will make no difference for what we want to achieved.
