# Build the Docker Image locally

To build the image locally `docker` and `git` should already be installed on your machine. `git` comes installed with most Linux distributions; if you OS doesn't include it follow the instructions in <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git>. \
For Docker please follow <https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/> for instruction on how to install it on your OS.

Building T4L3NT node Docker image locally requires 15Gb of free storage space due to the additional images that needs to be downloaded during the Docker build process.

1. Clone the [T4L3NT Github](https://github.com/Decentralized-Pictures/T4L3NT) repository

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Decentralized-Pictures/T4L3NT.git
```

2\. Build the Docker image\
This step can take 15+ minutes depending on how your internet download speed and how performant your machine is.

```
docker build . -t tlnt-node
```

3\. Run the Docker container\
You can use the same command as in [Setting up a t4l3nt node](/dcp-docs-v0.0.1/t4l3nt-net/blockchain/setting-up-a-t4l3nt-node.md) but use `tlnt-node:latest`  as the Docker image name for the container&#x20;

```
docker run -d \
    -p 8733:8733 \
    -p 9733:9733 \
    --name t4l3nt-node \
    -v tlnt-data:/home/tlnt \
    tlnt-node:latest
```

4\. Continue with the instructions in [Setting up a t4l3nt node](/dcp-docs-v0.0.1/t4l3nt-net/blockchain/setting-up-a-t4l3nt-node.md)&#x20;
