# Deploy Compute Node

To deploy a compute node, execute the compute node program with the following command-line options. Specify `compute_node` as the mode of operation, followed by the IP address and port number on which the compute node will listen. Additionally, provide the IP address and port number of the setup node as the final two arguments.

The command structure is as follows:

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

The compute nodes also require  `server.pem` and `server_key.pem` files, 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.
