System Configuration

☢️Recommended operating systems

This guide has been tested against Linux distributions only. To ensure a successful production environment setup, consider using a Linux system.

Hardware Requirements

The minimum requirements for running a JMES full node are:

Network	CPU cores	RAM	Disk	BANDWIDTH
jmes-testnet-1	2	4 GB	20 GB (SSD 5000 MB/s R/W)	150 Mbps
jmes-888	2	4 GB	20 GB (SSD 5000 MB/s R/W)	150 Mbps

☢️Storage requirements

As the network grows, the minimum hardware requirements will also grow. It is recommended that you monitor the system so you can prevent it from running out of resources.
