# ThunderHub on MyNode

ThunderHub is already configured with default environment variables and connected to the Lightning wallet, but it is disabled by default. To enable it, open the MyNode homepage and find the tile with the ThunderHub logo under Beta Apps (like the left image below).

Click on the Enable button, and wait for the page to refresh.

You should now see a ThunderHub button (like shown on the right image above) and a green dot. On clicking this button, a new tab should open on your browser, containing ThunderHub.

On the ThunderHub tab, click the Login button, enter your MyNode password and then click on Connect.

ThunderHub Connect Interface

You should end up at the ThunderHub dashboard (as shown in the first image at the top).
