# Deploy CoFHE Node

To deploy a CoFHE node, execute the node program using the command-line option `cofhe_node`, followed by specifying your desired IP address and port number for the node to listen on. Additionally, include the IP address and port number of the setup node as the final two arguments in the command.

The command syntax is as follows:

```bash
./node cofhe_node <your_ip> <your_port> <setup_node_ip> <setup_node_port>
```

The cofhe nodes also require  `server.pem` and `server_key.pem`, these must be located in the current working directory. These files are used for enabling SSL communication.\
\
Note - The `node` program is available in examples directory of [GitHub repository](https://github.com/OpenVectorAI/CoFHE/tree/main), follow the build steps specified in the readme of repository, latter we will also provide already built binaries for the same for popular platforms.
