### How to Run the Cardano node and CLI using Docker
21
+
There is also a Docker image available that you can use.
22
+
23
+
#### Setting up Docker
24
+
25
+
1. Download and install Docker/Docker Desktop from the [Docker site](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
26
+
2. If using Windows or Mac, ensure you have allocated enough RAM to Docker (we recommend setting the RAM to 8GB in the Docker Desktop requirements) and start the Docker daemon, as described in the Docker instructions. Note that Docker on Linux, there are no RAM limits for containers by default.
where `<TAG>` is the tag for the version that you require (e.g. `latest` for the most recent stable version, or `1.27.0` for node version 1.27.0).
34
+
35
+
2. Create local `data` and `node-ipc` volumes:
36
+
37
+
```
38
+
docker volume create cardano-node-data
39
+
docker volume create cardano-node-ipc
40
+
```
41
+
42
+
## Running the Cardano node
43
+
44
+
1. Run a passive node that is connected to the correct network. For example, for a `mainnet` node:
45
+
46
+
``docker run -e NETWORK=mainnet -v node-ipc:/ipc -v data:/data inputoutput/cardano-node``
47
+
48
+
This creates a persistent docker environment for the node, where `/ipc` in the Docker container is connected to the logical `node-ipc`volume, and `/data` is connected to the `data` volume. Note that you should change `NETWORK=mainnet` if you are connecting to a different network (eg a testnet).
49
+
50
+
You may also run the node with specific parameters:
51
+
52
+
``docker run -v node-ipc:/ipc -v data:/data inputoutput/cardano-node run --help``
53
+
54
+
### Passing Explicit Configuration Parameters
55
+
If there is no pre-defined network configuration, you will need to download the specified configuration files, copy these to the persistent Docker volume, and pass the parameters on the command line:
56
+
57
+
``docker run -v node-ipc:/ipc -v data:/data inputoutput/cardano-node run --config ... --topology ... --...``
58
+
59
+
## Running Cardano CLI commands
60
+
You can now run normal Cardano CLI commands, for example,
import { User } from'styled-icons/boxicons-regular/User'
