title: Setting up a Selenium node on Linux
body: <p>I am currently trying to set up a Selenium node on a Linux VM (headless). The hub is being run from a Windows device on port 5786 (4444 was in use). </p>
  
  <p>I initiate the hub using the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java -jar selenium-server-standalone-
  2.53.0.jar -role node –hub http://&lt;myIP&gt;:5786/grid/register -port 5558
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When i execute this, it returns the following error messages:</p>
  
  <pre><code>13:42:12.765 INFO - Launching a Selenium Grid node
