+1. clone repository to the node(s) or copy "nodes" directory to the nodes
+2. change directory into `nodes`
+3. create VirtualEnv: run `python3 -m venv venv` then `source venv/bin/activate`
+4. install dependencies: `pip install -r requirement.txt`
+5. create config file: 
+   1. `cp node.config.example.json config.json`
+   2. edit example config to represent your situation
+   3. remove comments in config file
+6. update the templates to represent the settings of the node
+7. setup file permissions for wireguard and bird config files:
+   - bird:
+     - add the dn42 user to the bird group: `usermod -a -G bird dn42`
+     - allow the bird group to edit config files: `chmod ug+rwx /etc/bird/peers/`
+     - allow user+group bird to edit peers configs `chmod ug+rw /etc/bird/peers/ -R`
+     - `chown bird:bird /etc/bird/peers -R`
+   - wireguard:
+     - `chown root:dn42 /etc/wireguard`
+     - `chmod ug+rw /etc/wireguard/*`
+     - `chmod 600 /etc/wireguard/dn42.priv`
+8. allow `dn42` user to start/stop/enable/disable wireguard tunnels:
+   - add the `wg-services.sh` script to `/etc/sudoers` using `visudo` <br> `Cmnd_Alias WG_SERVICES = /path/to/autopeering/nodes/wg-services.sh` <br> `dn42    ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:WG_SERVICES`
