# Diva Staking client setup

## Important update:

The recommended setup method for the Holesky testnet version is the **"Default - All-in-one"** method for the smoothest experience. This method requires you to stop your external execution and consensus clients and run Geth + Prysm consensus + Prysm validator clients as part of Diva's docker stack.

{% endcontent-ref %}

However, the more technically advanced may proceed with the Experimental method and share your feedback with the Diva Staking team. This will help the team identify potential issues for the less technically adept that will come after you!

This setup method includes a standalone Lodestar validator client as part of Diva's docker stack so you do not need to stop any of your existing clients.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dvt-homestaker.stakesaurus.com/dvt-setup/diva-staking/diva-staking-client-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
