* Clone the [decentral-feeder repository](https://github.com/diadata-org/decentral-feeder) to your local machine.

* The container has minimal resource requirements, making it suitable for most machines, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi, as long as Docker is installed.

* An ETH private key from MetaMask or any other Eth wallet. Alternatively to generate private key effortlesly eth-keys tool can be used for this [ethereum/eth-keys](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-keys)
