To run a Lotus node, your computer must have:
macOS or Linux installed. Windows is not yet supported.
a quad-core CPU. Models with support for Intel SHA Extensions (AMD since Zen microarchitecture, or Intel since Ice Lake) will significantly speed things up.
8-core CPU and 32 GiB RAM
Enough space to store the current Lotus chain (preferably on an SSD storage medium). The chain grows at approximately 12 GiB per week. The chain can be also synced from trusted state snapshots and compacted.
