📦 Installation
Lighthouse runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
There are three core methods to obtain the Lighthouse application:
Additionally, there are two extra guides for specific uses:
There are also community-maintained installation methods:
- Homebrew package.
- Arch Linux AUR packages: source, binary.
Recommended System Requirements
Before The Merge, Lighthouse was able to run on its own with low to mid-range consumer hardware, but would perform best when provided with ample system resources.
After The Merge on 15th September 2022, it is necessary to run Lighthouse together with an execution client (Nethermind, Besu, Erigon, Geth). The following system requirements listed are therefore for running a Lighthouse beacon node combined with an execution client , and a validator client with a modest number of validator keys (less than 100):
- CPU: Quad-core AMD Ryzen, Intel Broadwell, ARMv8 or newer
- Memory: 16 GB RAM or more
- Storage: 2 TB solid state storage
- Network: 100 Mb/s download, 20 Mb/s upload broadband connection
