1. Download Nethermind from the official page
   • For this tutorial I’m going to use D:\Nethermind\
   • I’m going to extract the latest version (1.3.2 as of writing) to D:\Nethermind\1.3.2\ in order to have a ‘fresh’ copy.
   • I’m then going to copy the contents to D:\Nethermind\Current\ as this will be my ‘working directory’.
2. Create a folder for your custom config files
   • I’m going to use D:\Nethermind\MyConfig\
3.  Create folders for your data (Database, Log, Keystore)
   • I’m going to use D:\Nethermind\MyData\
     
4. Populate your Config Folder with optional Static-Nodes
   • If you have other nodes on your network or wish to statically assign peers you can create or copy “static-nodes.json” from the D:\Nethermind\Current\Data folder. Then simply add your enodes.
5. Generate your configuration file
   • The default config file is “mainnet.cfg” located in D:\Nethermind\Current\configs\ copy this file to your MyConfig folder
   • You will want to modify a few options at the very least, below is my config.
