## Installation & Setup



There are two options. By running Docker or precompiled binary for macOS below:



**Docker**



The easiest way to run the node in a docker container:



```bash

docker run -d copperbits/ton

```



You might want to run in interactive mode and mount current dir into the container to be able to compile fif files:



```bash

docker run -ti -v "$(pwd):/data" --name ton copperbits/ton

```



Compile a fif file (if your container is running and current dir is mounted):



```bash

docker exec ton fift test.fif

```
