Environment requirements for the Waves Enterprise blockchain platform

Important

Waves Enterprise platform is distributed as a docker image, so there is no need to install any software other than Docker and Docker-compose and to configure the environment. With Docker you can deploy a docker container from a docker image which already contains Java, CryptoPro and other necessary software. However, you must purchase the licenses for this software from its manufacturer and then transfer the licenses to the node via the environment variables.
