-1. **Prepare Data Directory**:
+1. **Install aria2c**: Snapshot downloads require `aria2c`, a resumable downloader that handles the periodic connection interruptions imposed by Cloudflare. If you don't have it installed:
+
+    <CodeGroup>
+    ```bash macOS
+    brew install aria2
+    ```

+    ```bash Ubuntu / Debian
+    sudo apt-get install aria2

+2. **Prepare Data Directory**:
     - **Before running Docker for the first time**, create the data directory on your host machine that will be mapped into the Docker container. This directory must match the `volumes` mapping in the `docker-compose.yml` file.
         ```bash
         mkdir ./reth-data
         ```
     - If you have previously run the node and have an existing data directory, **stop the node** (`docker compose down`), remove the _contents_ of the existing directory (e.g. `rm -rf ./reth-data/*`), and proceed.

Once confirmed, you can safely delete the downloaded snapshot archive (`.tar.gz` file) to free up disk space.
