# Pull the Docker Image

### Step 1: Create your working folder

You'll keep all your node data and wallet files here. Pick a location on your machine.

#### Windows (PowerShell)

`cd ~\Desktop`

`mkdir XEQMMainnet`

`cd XEQMMainnet`

#### Linux

`cd ~`

`mkdir XEQMMainnet`

`cd XEQMMainnet`

Tip: If your folder name has spaces, always wrap it in quotes: cd "XEQM Mainnet".

Before running the next command, make sure the folder name appears in your command prompt. This is where all your service node data and wallet files will live.

### Step 2: Pull the Docker image

Run this on both Windows and Linux:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
docker pull ghcr.io/xeqmlabs/xeqm-node:latest
```

{% endcode %}

The first pull will take several minutes — it downloads the full XEQM daemon, wallet, and wallet-RPC binaries.

You're now ready to launch your node.
