+# Build a Waku Node: Waku Relay
+
+## Introduction
+
+This is a tutorial demonstatraing how to build your own Waku node using python. 
+Waku provides a collection of protocols on top of libp2p providing messaging anonymity,.
+This guide will use the core protocols of Waku v2, as described in [10/WAKU2](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/10/), 
+other protocols can be added to your node after completing the tutorial.
+To start, we will implement the [11/WAKU2-RELAY](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/11/) protocol.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Your node must use configurations detailed in [11/WAKU2-RELAY](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/11/).
+The [11/WAKU2-RELAY](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/11/) is the most important protocol to implement,
+as all Waku nodes should be a running a relay.
+ 
+
+Let's set up the basic libp2p modules that are need for a Waku Relay. 
+First, lets create a directory for our new project:
+
+``` bash
+
+# create a new directory and make sure you change into it
+> mkdir waku-node
+> cd waku-node
+
+```
+In your new directory, download the supported py-libp2p from the github repository.
+
+> Note: py-libp2p is still under development and should not be used for production envirnoments.
+
+``` bash
+
+> git clone git@github.com:libp2p/py-libp2p.git
+
+```
+
+## Publish Subsrcibe Method
+
+A Waku node uses Publish/Subscribe (pubsub) to allow peers to communicate with each other.
+Peers are able to join topics, within a network,
+that they are interseted in using pubsub.
+Once joined, they are able to send and 
+receive messages within the topic.
+
+The gossipsub protocol is the pubsub protocol used in a Waku node.
+To implement gossipsub on your Waku node,
+first we will import the proper packages. 
+
+``` python
+
+# import the necessary py-libp2p
+from libp2p.pubsub import pubsub
+from libp2p.pubsub import gossipsub
+from libp2p.peer.id import ID
+
+class WakuNode():
+
+def start() -> None:
+  
+
+```
