"it usually took a night for a new node to catch up the mainnet"

After setting up Cardano Node/CLI and the relay configuration. Are you supposed to run something overnight? I read someone’s comment that said “after up and running, it usually took a night for a new node to catch up the mainnet.” What does this mean? They said they had to do that before they were able to mint tokens or use it. What do you run overnight that takes that long?

Nothing… u will let the node to sync with the network

Cheers,
