Parmanode

Bitcoin Nodes

Parmanode is an automated one-script Bitcoin node installer created by Bitcoin educator Arman the Parman that sets up Bitcoin Core, Lightning, Electrum server, BTCPay Server, Specter, Sparrow, and more on desktop Linux or Raspberry Pi without requiring command-line configuration. Designed for technically cautious but non-expert users, Parmanode eliminates the complexity of manual node setup while maintaining full self-sovereignty. It is available in standard (desktop Linux) and ParmanodL (Raspberry Pi 4) variants.
