Welcome to bitcointalk, the place where your questions shall be answered~

Hey Guys I'm new here, just want to learn more about the Bitcoin Node...
Is there a specific reason? If you want to run a node for the sake of your privacy, there are several ways to do it. It's not expensive as you can find the necessary hardware for less than $50.

If you just want to learn more about the way bitcoin nodes work, study!

1. Get a 500GB+ (1 TB advised for long term) SSD.
2. Install bitcoin core, set the data dir onto that SSD.
3. Allow inbound connections on your PC.
4. Forward the ports in your router.
5. Start bitcoind and leave it running 24/7

That's all.

PS. SSD is necessary only for the start when almost 400 GB of data needs to be downloaded and on HDD it will take many long days; if you have enough patience, HDD will also do.

At the top of this very forum page is a link to download Bitcoin Core:

Quote
News: Latest Bitcoin Core release: 22.0 [Torrent]

You click the link under the number to go to the download page.

What you do next depends on your OS:

- On Windows and Mac there are installers on that page you download, install and run like a regular program.
- On Linux there is a portable .tar.gz archive of Bitcoin Core you can extract and run in the terminal like this:

Code:
cd  ~/Downloads/bitcoin-core
./bicoind # or ./bitcoin-qt for GUI graphical node

Note: There is also a Windows .zip file that is portable and can be run using the same commands as above.
