# Hardware | ||
|
||
You will likely be able to run a Full Node on most semi-modern hardware. The requirements are not very high. | ||
|
||
You will need a drive with at least 1TB of storage available if you want to store the entire blockchain. | ||
|
||
I will also recommend that you use a modern SSD for the IBD as it will speed up the process significantly (Days vs Weeks). | ||
|
||
**Note:** I am working on collecting data on the ability of different hardware to run a Full Node. If you have any data to share, please let me know. |

# Mac OS | ||
|
||
If you are using an external drive make sure to format your external drive as `Mac OS Extended (Journaled)` before syncing the blockchain. Formatting as `ExFAT` will likely cause errors. | ||
|
||
To format your drive open `Disk Utility` and select your external drive. Click `Erase` and select `Mac OS Extended (Journaled)`. | ||

## Download Bitcoin Core | ||
|
||
Head over to the [Bitcoin Core download page](https://bitcoin.org/en/download) and download the latest version of Bitcoin Core for Mac OS. Make sure to choose the `arm64` version if you have a new m-series Mac. | ||
|
||
Install Bitcoin Core by dragging the application to your `Applications` folder. | ||
|
||
Right click on the Bitcoin Core icon and select `Open`. You will be prompted with a warning that the application is from an unidentified developer. Click `Open`. | ||
|
||
A welcome screen will appear and you will be asked to choose a location for the blockchain data. If you are using an external drive select your external drive. If you are using your internal drive you can choose the default location. |
