# Installation

To use this API, you will need to run a small local service which will be responsible for managing your wallet and interacting with the blockchain. Your application interacts with this service locally via HTTP API calls.

Team Hycon currently supports Linux, MacOS, and Windows through a compiled release. You may also clone and compile the repository from source. Hycon uses `npm` to run the node with minimal setup.

Please select the release for your operating system [here](https://github.com/team-hycon/hycon-core/releases) or clone the GitHub repository [here](https://github.com/team-hycon/hycon-core) to deploy your local Hycon node.
