As said in the article about mixnodes, NYM is a technology aiming for providing privacy for the communications. Apart of the mixnodes, other key piece in the infrastructure are the validators. As said, the project uses Open Source technology to run, and they have a nice docs with details on how to run a node at https://nymtech.net/docs/, and the one relevant for mixnodes at https://nymtech.net/docs/run-nym-nodes/validators/.
