# Technical Requirements

This page covers the minimum hardware requirements for joining Rangers protocol Mainnet as a miner node.

## The Minimal Requirement

| Hardware          | Minimal Specification |
| ----------------- | --------------------- |
| Operation System  | centOS7               |
| CPU               | 8                     |
| Memory            | 16G                   |
| Disk Capacity     | 1TB                   |
| Network Bandwidth | 100MB/s               |

**Note:** The minimal requirement is not prepared for the performance optimization of a running node. The minimal hardware requirement grows as the Rangers Protocol grows. It is recommended to use hardware with higher performance to run a miner node.
