# System requirements
The recommended system requirements for running the Nimbus beacon node are:
| What | Recommended |
| ---------- | ------ |
| Operating system | Linux [64-bit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing), Windows 64-bit, macOS X 10.15+ |
| Memory | 4GB |
| Disk space | 200GB |
| Network | Reliable broadband |
!!! note "Execution client"
In addtion to the beacon node, you will need to run an [execution client](./eth1.md) - check the documentation of the client of choice and add them to the above requirements.
Broadly, to run both an execution and a consensus client on the same machine, we recommend a **2 TB** SSD drive and **8** GB RAM.
!!! note "Minimal requirements"
Nimbus has been optimized to also run well on hardware significantly less powerful than the recommended system requirements - the more validators you run on the same node, the more hardware resources and network bandwidth will it will use.
