# Run RPC Node using Nethermind client
1. [Download Nethermind Client](https://downloads.nethermind.io/)
2. Full specification for Nethermind configuration options can be found here:
1.
2.
3. Run the following command in your terminal -
#### Run RPC node in Volta Network
```
chmod +x nethermind
# To run a Full node
./nethermind --config volta
# To run an Archive node
./nethermind --config volta_archive
```
#### Run RPC node in EWC Network
```
# To run a Full node
./nethermind --config energyweb
# To run an Archive node
./nethermind --config energyweb_archive
```
Your local node should start:

## **Run a local node using Docker with Nethermind client**
This section describes minimal setup to run an RPC node locally or on the server using Docker container run with docker-compose. This is **solely for development** purposes, it's not a production grade recommendation.
\
See Nethermind documentation for Docker:
### Set up
1. Verify that prerequisites are installed:
```
docker --version
docker-compose --version
```
2. Create working directory
```
mkdir data_dir
```
3. Create docker-compose.yaml file
```
cat > docker-compose.yaml << 'EOF'
version: '3.8'
services:
nethermind:
image: nethermind/nethermind:1.25.4
restart: always
command:
--config volta -dd /nethermind/data_dir
# For EnergyWebChain network
# --config energyweb -dd /nethermind/data_dir
volumes:
- ./data_dir:/nethermind/data_dir
ports:
- 8545:8545
- 8546:8546
- 30303:30303
- 30303:30303/udp
EOF
```
4. Start container:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
5. Examine logs:
```
docker-compose logs --tail 20 nethermind
```
The log output should be similar to the following
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.energyweb.org/legacy-documentation/ew-dos-technology-components-2023/trust-layer-energy-web-chain/ewc-guides-and-tutorials/running-a-local-node/run-rpc-node-using-nethermind-client.md?ask=
```
The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
