# Managing Your Node

## How to use the Infera Lite Extension

Before opening the extension, make sure your node is running on your device

* On Windows: run the `infera-node.exe` file
* On Mac/Linux: run `init-infera` in your Terminal.

### Main Dashboard

The **Home screen** is the landing page of the extension and gives an overview of the node's current status.
