The Avalanche Node Implementation project provides a comprehensive guide for setting up and running a node on the Avalanche network, an advanced blockchain platform known for high throughput and ultra-fast transaction speeds. Designed to be lightweight, it operates on modest hardware, optimally with a minimum specification of 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, and 1 TB storage for Mainnet connections. The node software can be installed through multiple methods, including building from source, binary repository, or Docker, and supports both Ubuntu and macOS environments. AvalancheGo, the node client, requires Go (>= 1.22.8) and relevant C compilers for source builds, ensuring a reliable deployment with options to connect to both the mainnet and testnet environments. Platform compatibility varies by tier, with architecture support ranging from fully supported AMD64 Linux to experimental ARM64 Darwin setups. The project emphasizes rigorous testing across supported platforms, version semantics, and provides necessary tools for code generation and mock testing, making it a robust choice for developers looking to leverage Avalanche’s capabilities in Web3 applications.
