# Baremetal Authors: \[ Ankur | Dapplooker] ## System Requirements | CPU | OS | RAM | DISK | | ------ | ------------ | ----- | ---------- | | 8 vCPU | Ubuntu 22.04 | 16 GB | 1 TB (SSD) | {% hint style="success" %} *The node has a size of 585 GB as of March 14th, 2025.* {% endhint %} ## Pre-requisite Before starting, clean the setup then update and upgrade. Install following: * Git * Go v1.23+ * rustc * make * just * op-node * op-reth * jq * Ethereum Sepolia L1 RPC URL * L1 Consensus Layer Beacon URL {% hint style="warning" %} ### Before you start, make sure that you have your own synced `Ethereum Sepolia L1 RPC URL` (Ethereum not base ) & `L1 Consensus Layer Beacon endpoint` (e.g. Lighthouse Sepolia) ready. {% endhint %} ### Installation Command ```bash sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt auto-remove -y sudo apt install -y git make just wget gcc pkg-config libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev jq gcc g++ curl libssl-dev screen apache2-utils build-essential pkg-config ``` ### Install Rustc ```bash curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.3 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh # Follow the prompt instruction rustc --version #Verifying the installation ``` ### Install Op-node ```bash git clone https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism.git cd optimism/op-node just VERSION=v1.12.1 op-node # build op-node cp ./bin/op-node /usr/bin #Placing op-node binary in /usr/bin op-node -v #Verify version ``` {% hint style="warning" %} Version (v1.12.1) may change in future look for op-node latest version {% endhint %} ### Install Op-reth ```bash git clone https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth.git cd reth make build-op # build op-reth must install/upgrade dependencies cp ./target/release/op-reth /usr/bin #Placing op-reth binary in /usr/bin op-reth -V # Verify Version ``` ## Setting up Firewall ### Set explicit default UFW rules ```bash sudo ufw default deny incoming sudo ufw default allow outgoing ``` ### Allow SSH ```bash sudo ufw allow 22/tcp sudo ufw allow 80 sudo ufw allow 443 sudo ufw allow 8545 sudo ufw allow 5052 ``` ### Allow Remote connection ```bash sudo ufw allow from ${REMOTE.HOST.IP} to any port 8545 ``` ### Enable Firewall ```bash sudo ufw enable ``` ##
