Congratulations on choosing to become part of a People's Open Network! This is a walkthrough for flashing a node (a home router) with the SudoMesh's sudowrt-firmware (a custom build of OpenWRT) and then configuring it with makenode (a custom javascript tool developed by SudoMesh). At the end of the walkthrough, you'll be able to plug in your router and join the mesh. The walkthrough assumes you're using a linux-ish OS (mac OSX should work also) and that you have [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal basic knowledge of the terminal]. The general idea of getting a node on the mesh consists of flashing an operating system (copying files to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory flash memory]) to the node and then using a software tool finish the setup. | Congratulations on choosing to become part of a People's Open Network!

Before you flash your router, it is recommended that you read the [[Home and extender nodes#Home_nodes|home node info]] to find out the router works as a mesh node. | Before you flash your router, it is recommended that you read the [[Home and extender nodes#Home_nodes|home node info]] to find out the router works as a mesh node. |
