> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt).

This section provides specific information for running and configuring v1.x.x Chainlink nodes. First you will [run a chainlink node](/chainlink-nodes/v1/running-a-chainlink-node) that implements the [basic request architecture model](/architecture-overview/architecture-request-model). Then you will [fulfill requests](/chainlink-nodes/v1/fulfilling-requests) initiated by a smart contract.

The [Configuring Nodes page](/chainlink-nodes/v1/configuration) lists all the environment variables for configuring a v1.x.x Chainlink node.
