Overview

Before you deploy a local Hiero test network with solo one-shot single deploy, your machine must meet specific hardware, operating system, and tooling requirements. This page walks you through the minimum and recommended memory, CPU, and storage, supported platforms (macOS, Linux, and Windows via WSL2), and the required versions of Docker/Podman, Node.js, and Kubernetes tooling. By the end of this page, you will have your container runtime installed, platform-specific settings configured, and all Solo prerequisites in place so you can move on to the Quickstart and create a local network with a single command.

Quickstart

Overview

Solo Quickstart provides a single, one-shot command path to deploy a running Hiero test network using the Solo CLI tool. This guide covers installing Solo, running the one-shot deployment, verifying the network, and accessing local service endpoints.

Note: This guide assumes basic familiarity with command-line interfaces and Docker.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have completed the following:

System Readiness:
- Prepare your local environment (Docker, Kind, Kubernetes, and related tooling) by following the System Readiness guide.

Note: Quickstart only covers what you need to run solo one-shot single deploy and verify that the network is working. Detailed version requirements, OS-specific notes, and optional tools are documented in System Readiness.
