How to run dusk node?

Could you please provide a step-by-step guide on how to successfully run a Dusk node? I'm interested in joining the network and contributing to the ecosystem, but I'm unsure of the process. What are the necessary hardware and software requirements? Do I need to install any specific software or configure my system in a particular way? Are there any security measures I should take to protect my node? Additionally, how do I stay up-to-date with any updates or changes to the Dusk network? Thank you in advance for your help.
