Run a POA node on Windows (Simple)
This is a simplified and visually explained guide for running a node. If you feel confident with installing software and running commands through command prompt please find the the general guide here:
To begin this process there are three pieces of software that must be installed these are:
- .Net Framework
- Rust
- MongoDB
We will go through these in turn.
Firstly however we must explain some of the tool we will be using to install the pieces of software. The main componants of all three software will be installed like any other software. However some elements will be added
.Net is installed through the link:
This link should automatically download the SDK needed. If it does not please click the link in the below photo.

Proceed through the steps indicated in the the software installation. The installation may at points ask for permission to allow the app to make changes to your computer, if this happens select the yes option. Once the installation is complete select the close option.
The download for Rust can be found at the link:
Firstly we must install the C++ build tools for Visual Studion. To do this click on the link:
[Rust Download for Windows)(https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe)
This should automatically begin the download of rust. If this does not work use this link:
Then select the Download Rustup-init.exe (64-bit)
Once the download has completed run the downloaded installation package. This will open your command prompt.
