here’s how to set up a Hypersnap node on macOS.
Step 1: Download Docker
go to https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/install/mac-install/ and download Docker Desktop.
make sure you select the right chip for your Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel).
once downloaded, sign up or log in (you can use your Google account). After you’re signed in, just minimize Docker and let it run in the background.
Step 2: Run the node
open your Terminal and paste this command 👇
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/farcasterorg/hypersnap/refs/heads/main/scripts/hypersnap-bootstrap.sh | bash
the first time you run it, it’ll download some files, check that Docker is installed, ask you to accept the terms of service, then prompts you to enter your farcaster ID or your username.
Step 3 : connect your Farcaster account.
enter your username or FID and the node will start automatically.
(note: it only asks for your FID the first time. every time after that it starts up without asking.)
