# Quickstart

> Get up and running with your Nexus RPC server in a few simple steps

## Install Nexus

```bash theme={null}
npm install @whatsgood/nexus
```

## Configure Nexus

```typescript theme={null}
// node.js standalone server example

import { Nexus, NodeProvider, CHAIN } from "@whatsgood/nexus";
import { createServer } from "node:http";

const llamaRpcNodeProvider = new NodeProvider({
  name: "llama-rpc",
  chain: CHAIN.ETHEREUM_MAINNET,
  url: "https://eth.llamarpc.com",
});

const tenderlyNodeProvider = new NodeProvider({
  name: "tenderly",
  chain: CHAIN.ETHEREUM_MAINNET,
  url: "https://gateway.tenderly.co/public/mainnet",
});

const nexus = Nexus.create({
  nodeProviders: [llamaRpcNodeProvider, tenderlyNodeProvider],
  port: 4000,
});

createServer(nexus).listen(nexus.port, () => {
  console.log(`🚀 Server ready at http://localhost:${nexus.port}`);
});

```

## Send your first request

First, start the server: `npm run dev`. And then, open a new terminal window and send a request to the server.  You should see a response like: `{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "0x11e3b03" }`.
