The vantage6 node is the software that runs on the machine of the data
owner. It is responsible for the execution of the privacy-enhanced learning and analysis
tasks and the communication with vantage6 HQ.

Each organization that is involved in a collaboration has
its own node in that collaboration. They should therefore install the node
software on a virtual machine or kubernetes cluster hosted in their own infrastructure.
The node should have access to the data that is used in the privacy-enhanced learning
and analysis.

The following pages explain how to install and run the node software.
