You can initialize the node from a snapshot or allow it to compute the Etherlink state from genesis, which can take a long time.

### From an EVM node etherlink snapshot

This is the recommended method as it allows to bootstrap an Etherlink node the
quickest with the complete history.

1. Download [an Etherlink Smart Rollup node snapshot](#<url>).

```bash
wget <url> -O etherlink.snapshot
```

1. Import the snapshot using the `octez-evm-node` binary.

```bash
octez-evm-node snapshot import etherlink.snapshot --data-dir $evm_observer_dir
```

1. Run this command to start the node:

```bash
octez-evm-node run observer --data-dir $evm_observer_dir
```

### From an existing Etherlink Smart Rollup node

In case EVM node snapshots are not available, one can initialize an Etherlink
node using a Smart Rollup node snapshot (or a Smart Rollup node data
directory). The EVM node will contain the state and history of the chain
starting with the snapshot block.

1. Download [an Etherlink Smart Rollup node snapshot](https://snapshots.eu.tzinit.org/etherlink-ghostnet/), and use the `octez-smart-rollup-node` binary to import it in a temporary directory.
