## Minimum Requirements

Operating a `nym-node` is not a set-and-forget endeavor. To prevent operators frustration and investment of time or money for sub-optimal server, we composed this list of prerequisites.
Operating a `nym-node` is not a set-and-forget endeavor. To prevent operators committing their time and money into a sub-optimal server, resulting in frustration of never seeing their node active, we composed this list of prerequisites. Please read below about expecations regarding operators [skill set](#knowledge-base), [time dedication](#time) and [minimum hardware specs](#vps-hardware-specs).

### Knowledge base

All nodes are run remotely from operators shell, using [SSH](https://www.ssh.com/academy/ssh) and [Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) commands. Node operators need to be an experienced super users or preferably sys-admins. If you never used terminal before, maybe start with some tutorial of [basic Linux administration](https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/linux-system-administration-basics/) before committing to run a node.

### Time

Last but not least, managing a Nym Node is work. More skilled an operator is, less time it takes run a node (and search extra details), but just like any other work, it takes time. Reserve 45-120 minutes for the initial setup and configuration (depends on your skills). Then count on a few minutes once in 2-4 weeks to upgrade node version binaries. Outdated nodes are never selected for routing/mixing packets, resulting in not receiving any rewards. You can read more on our [Tokenomics page](tokenomics/mixnet-rewards.mdx) to understand the selection and rewards logic.
