How to install Avalanche full node

Install AvalancheGo (archive C-Chain) as a self-hosted Avalanche full node on your server. This guide covers the agent, network selection, setup, and sync.

Client

AvalancheGo (archive C-Chain)

RPC

C-Chain Ethereum JSON-RPC + Avalanche APIs

History

Archive C-Chain bootstrap — not a pruned default.

Avalanche on RpcNode is archive C-Chain so historical eth_* works. That is not the smallest community preset.

Fuji is the public test environment. Bootstrap progress is first-class on the node page.

How to install Avalanche node

Choose mainnet, fuji in Toolkit, then follow these steps to provision and run a Avalanche full node.

  1. Install the panel and host agent using the documentation, then register the server in the panel.
  2. In Add node, select Avalanche and the required environment.
  3. Review the network options, start provisioning, and follow sync status and logs from the node page.

Operate from the panel

After the node is up you manage it in the same UI — Node Config (edit the live files and apply), client updates, restart, logs, public RPC. You do not need SSH to change conf. Install-time choices (snapshot flavor, history window, disk layout) are stored on that node.

FAQ

How do I install Avalanche full node?
Install the host agent, add the server, then choose Avalanche and an environment in Add node. Toolkit provisions AvalancheGo (archive C-Chain) and tracks sync from the panel.
Can I change the Avalanche config later?
Yes. Node page → Node Config. Edit and apply; restart from the same page. A different snapshot or history flavor is an Install choice — changing it later usually means wipe and Add node again.
Pruned or light?
Archive C-Chain bootstrap — not a pruned default.
