```sh

# for Linux
|
||||
mkrid $HOME/.config/nym-vpn/
|
||||
|
||||
# for macOS
|

mkdir $HOME/Library/Application Support/nym-vpn/

env_config_file = "~/.config/nym-vpn/sandbox.env"
|
||||
entry_node_location = "DE" # two letters country code

Make sure you went through the GUI configuration in the [preparation section](./nym-vpn.md#gui-configuration). Then open terminal in the same directory where you [installed](./nym-vpn.md#preparation) the binary run:

```sh
|

sudo ./nym-vpn_0.0.0_amd64.AppImage

# In case there were last minute changes and your binary has a different name, run:
|

sudo ./<FULL_BINARY_NAME>
|

# In case you use another binary, just add the correct name as:

sudo -E ./<FULL_BINARY_NAME>
