How do I run a node on Sui?

In order to run a Sui Network node, a crypto user needs to operate at least an 8-thread CPU with 32 GB RAM and 128 GB SSD. Then, he/she needs to download and customize the software required to turn his/her server into a Sui node. Once the software is installed, the user should connect the Sui wallet and synchronize the device with the blockchain. As these procedures require significant hardware and software skills, it’s strictly recommended to use public RPC nodes of SUI.
