It depends. My rasp took 2 weeks to sync.

Depends on what type, I believe. If you’re choosing to run a full node, usually the longest part is downloading the historical chain data (roughly 700gb)

The out of the box nodes are plug n play.

Day or two at most really. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3bWRcMCmgq6Ejo7WYuTGPH?si=naH5X_rJR6isHOeG5veElA

Couple of minutes on a fast laptop.

If you use Parmanode you sync the blockchain in 2 days.

You can run a neutrino backed litd lightning node in a couple of minutes. https://docs.lightning.engineering/lightning-network-tools/lightning-terminal/speedrun

A few minutes with Umbrel OS.

Really depends, could be plug-and-play in under a minute, or fully custom which might take days, depending on your skill level.

Please focus on your survival first 🥹

Go for a plug and play one then it doesn’t take too long

The initial setup usually takes about 1 to 3 days to fully sync. But installing the software and the initial connection typically only takes a few minutes.

Full sync, a few days depending on your internet speed

My Minipc with UmbrelOS took less than 2 days to sync all the blockchain

I used an old laptop with Ubuntu and external usb non-ssd disk and adsl internet. It took me 3 to 4 weeks to sync. Ai..

If you’re a seller, consider running more than one node with Switchgear. Never miss a payment! https://github.com/bitshock-src/switchgear

Depends what you need, with zeus ln you get a node on the phone, and you can use for a POS. For the bitcoin cafe probably an old laptop and using ubuntu you can install btcpay server, which comes with a node, and they have a fast sync setting that downloads 90% of the chain and all you need is a day...

Depends if you go for a outofbox like umbrel its easy couple of minutes but the sync of the blockchain takes couple days. If you do it on you own hardware the sync can take even couple weeks depends on the hardware used.

Setting up a node is quick and easy! Waiting for the blockchain to sync can take a couple days though.
