# How to install Plugin 1.0 Node

## System Requirements

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:red;">**At present, in accordance with the Governance Committee's decision, we are not accepting any new nodes. To remain informed about the most recent Plugin advancements, kindly watch out for announcements on Discord.**</mark>&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Operating System - Ubuntu / Linux Kernel Version 20.04

RAM - 2GB (Minimum) - More the better \
&#x20;           For better performance of the node, please use RAM of 5GB

Storage Space - 50 GB

Cloud hosting is better to provide high availability and good reputation

## How easy the installation is?

We are recommending Ubuntu OS to have quick & easy installation

Setting up the Plugin node requires good technical expertise, but we are trying to minimize the effort by heavy lifting them through three modes of installation.&#x20;

* Modular Method for Deployment(Recommended Approach)
  * If you are following this approach, then "you are not required to follow "Enabling HTTPS Connections" separately. This approach takes care of https setup.
* Script Method
* Docker Method

The results of these methods is the same, but they work differently. The modular approach gives you complete flexibility and is recommended.

Choose the one you find easy, depending on your expertise, and start setting up your own nodes.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:red;">**Be cautious to fund your Node address only with the required Tokens for testing (1 to 5PLI max) DO NOT FUND MORE THAN THIS!**</mark>

<mark style="color:red;">**The user or the Plugin Team will not be able to withdraw any tokens that have been purposefully or mistakenly transferred to a Node address.**</mark>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.plugin.global/plugin-1.0-installations-deprecated/how-to-install-plugin-1.0-node.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
