!!! tip
If you want the syncing process to complete much faster, you can [sync from a trusted node](./trusted-node-sync.md).
One might consider here to [set up a systemd service](./beacon-node-systemd.md) to ensure this runs automatically, including after restarts. One might consider here to [set up a systemd service](./beacon-node-systemd.md) to ensure this runs automatically, including after restarts.

### 4. Start the node ### 4. Sync from a trusted node
Once you've installed Nimbus, you can [start the node](./start-syncing.md) which will initiate the sync process. While this step is not mandatory, since Nimbus will automatically start syncing process on the first start, we recommend doing it as it will allow you to get started in **minutes** instead of hours or even days.
Follow our [trusted node sync guide](./trusted-node-sync.md).
### 5. Start the node
Once you've completed previous steps, it is time to start the beacon node.
If you have skipped the syncing from a trusted node step, starting the node will initiate the [syncing process](./start-syncing.md).
