# Installation Options

Installation procedure is identical for Ethereum, and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) gateways. 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](broken://pages/-MIUhNlba_qzxp6pjk24) of your execution layer client.

In some cases you will also need to [Connect the Gateway to the Ethereum Consensus Layer](broken://pages/9GgrkgzoXeKLbkyniIFj).

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.

Building the gateway requires using Go (version 1.19 or later). You can install it using your favorite package manager. Once the dependencies are installed, run `make gateway`.

#### Docker container option

To pull the latest gateway version, run the following command:

```markup
docker pull bloxroute/bloxroute-gateway-go:latest
```

**Running your gateway**

To run your gateway, copy the command below and modify it as needed.

A full list of start up arguments is available in the [Startup Arguments page](broken://pages/-MlNxudohX6lybndPN4n).
