#### Go to algorand node directory

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

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

#### Edit the config.json

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.
