# Step 2 - Creating a Workspace

After downloading and launching the app, you will see the **Welcome screen** with the **Create Workspace** button.

After pressing **Create Workspace,** you will be asked to choose where to install the node. There are two ways of installing it:

* [**Start Locally**](/mainnet-guide/launcher/installing-the-workspace-locally.md) - this allows you to install and run the node from your local machine (the same system the Desktop App itself runs at.
* [**Start Remotely**](/mainnet-guide/launcher/installing-the-workspace-remotely.md) - this allows you to connect the app to a remote system via SSH and run the node there.
