# Installation Options

Users can run the bloXroute Local Gateway as a Docker container or use a local build based on the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/bloXroute-Labs/gateway). 

If you are running a blockchain node, to ensure that your Gateway will be able to connect to it, we recommended you [add the Gateway as a trusted peer](https://docs.bloxroute.com/bsc/gateway/broken-reference) of your execution layer client. 

After a successful installation, the will Gateway provide your node access to the BDN and will speed up block and transaction propagation to and from the node that it is peered with.

#### GitHub repository option

Pull the latest gateway version from our GitHub repository and install it locally.
