Hi,

Here’s a simple way to run a Zcash node on a Raspberry Pi. It’s a GUI app that handles everything for you: Docker setup, SSD formatting, and syncing. Takes 5 minutes if your system is up to date.

Once synced, you’ve got built-in lightwalletd support. Flip a toggle and point Ywallet at your own server.

Everything ran and tested on Ubuntu. Not sure about any other Linux based OS.

**Open Terminal:**

_sudo apt install curl -y && curl -sSL [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mycousiinvinny/zecnode/main/install.sh](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mycousiinvinny/zecnode/main/install.sh) | bash_

**After reboot:**

curl -sSL _[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mycousiinvinny/zecnode/main/install.sh](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mycousiinvinny/zecnode/main/install.sh) | bash_
