System Requirements
Before we can start earning, we check your device:
What We Need
Golem Node Requirements (Linux Only):
OS: Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+ works best) - Currently the only supported network
CPU: 2+ cores with virtualization support (VMX/SVM)
RAM: 4GB minimum, 8GB recommended
Storage: 20GB free space
Internet: Stable connection
Virtualization: KVM support (automatically installed)
What Golem Uses:
CPU: 1-4 cores (we adjust based on your system)
RAM: 2-8GB (flexible based on what you have)
Storage: 10-50GB for tasks
Network: Stable internet for work distribution
If your system doesn't meet requirements, we'll tell you exactly what needs upgrading and why the node can't start.
Note: For the PoC, we only support Golem Network on Linux systems. The desktop app works on all platforms, but the nodes only run on Linux.
First Run
Once everything checks out:
Wallet created: We generate a secure wallet for you.
Node deployed: Golem provider starts running.
Connection established: Your device connects to the network.

Everything happens automatically. No technical setup needed.
