# Custom Port (Optional)

This step is to resolve port conflicts, as the algorand node uses the default port of 8080. You can skip this step if you want to use default port.

If your 8080 port is already using on other apps, you can using custom with this following command.

#### Go to algorand node directory

```bash
cd /var/lib/algorand
```

#### Copy the config example

```bash
cp config.json.example config.json
```

#### Edit the config.json

```bash
nano config.json
```

Search `EndpointAddress` and here is the example.

Then change the port from `127.0.0.1:0` to `127.0.0.1:8980` or you can use port you want. Next step is save your config using `CTRL +X` , `CTRL + Y` and then press `enter`.

#### Restart your node

```bash
sudo systemctl restart algorand
```

#### Check your node status

```bash
sudo systemctl status algorand
```

Check your node status to make sure your port is already changed. Here is the example.

Don't forget to remember which port you're using for algorand node to run goracle node later.

Now your algorand node is ready to use.&#x20;
