# Setup Guides

### Our Current Setup

For this guide we have modified the Armada Alliance Raspi-Node guide for our own development uses as early minting node for Revelar. We have documented a full start to deployment guide as part of another Catalyst Fund 7 Proposal we were awarded. If you want to follow along with our build exactly as we have setup ours, please use this guide:

* Shoutout to **WCat (Wayne)** for such an inspirational setup that has been the "Most efficient stakepool on Cardano" for far longer than this off grid guide was even a thought&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
It is good advice to setup and run a node locally before getting off grid, as there are some early syncing decisions to make before taking it out in the bush and relying on more variable to troubleshoot.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://catalyst.revelar.co/off-grid-solar-cardano-node-enclosure/raspberry-pi-setup/setup-guides.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
