# Quickstart: running a go-waku node
This guide explains how to build and run a go-waku node
for the most common use cases.
For a more advanced configuration see our [configuration guides](./how-to/configure.md)
## 1. Build
[Build the go-waku node](./how-to/build.md)
or download a precompiled binary from our [releases page](https://github.com/waku-org/go-waku/releases).
<!-- Docker images are published to [wakuorg/go-waku](https://hub.docker.com/r/wakuorg/go-waku/tags) on DockerHub. -->
<!-- TODO: more advanced explanation on finding and using docker images -->
## 2. Run
[Run the go-waku node](./how-to/run.md) using a default or common configuration
or [configure](./how-to/configure.md) the node for more advanced use cases.
[Connect](./how-to/connect.md) the go-waku node to other peers to start communicating.
## 3. Interact
A running go-waku node can be interacted with using the [Waku v2 JSON RPC API](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/16/).
> **Note:** Private and Admin API functionality are disabled by default.
To configure a go-waku node with these enabled,
use the `--rpc-admin:true` and `--rpc-private:true` CLI options.
