# Setup your Bitcoin node from source

Make your own Bitcoin node from source.

{% hint style="danger" %}
This tutorial is for advanced users with good technical skills. For a more guided setup, follow the [Umbrel OS tutorial](/readme/bitcoin-node/bitcoin-node-setup-with-umbrel-os.md) instead.
{% endhint %}

In this tutorial we setup our own Bitcoin node from scratch! What is covered:

* Buy, assemble and flash a Raspberry Pi
* Download, compile and install the original Bitcoin Core software
* Download, compile and install a modern Electrum server in Rust
* Connect your wallets to your node through the Tor protocol

{% hint style="warning" %}
We assume the reader might not own their internet connection or have access to the router's admin interface. Therefore, this guide defaults to a Tor-only setup.
