💾Installing Prerequisites

We strongly recommend running your Node via binary after v.1.4.19. This documentation does not support running or building nodes using source.

When run with Binary, you do not need to install any additional requirements. But we still share these for those who want to use grpcurl.

The first step is to install the required software.

Installing Git

sudo  apt -q update

sudo  apt  install  git  -y

Check the version with

git --version

It will show your git version:

git version 2.34.1

Installing GO

You must install Go version 1.24.4.

If you are using arm64 system, please apply the commands at Arm 64 System tab below.

Amd64 Systems

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvf go1.22.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv go /usr/local
sudo rm go1.22.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo nano ~/.bashrc

Arm64 Systems

wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.4.linux-arm64.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvf go1.22.4.linux-arm64.tar.gz
sudo mv go /usr/local
sudo rm go1.22.4.linux-arm64.tar.gz
sudo nano ~/.bashrc

At the end of the file, add these lines and save the file.

GOROOT=/usr/local/go
GOPATH=$HOME/go
PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin:$PATH

After you save the file, run:

source ~/.bashrc

Check GO Version

go version

It must show "go version go.1.22.4 linux/amd64" or "go version go.1.22.4 linux/arm64" depending on your system.

Installing gRPCurl

If you already have the GO installed, you can use the go tool to install grpcurl:

go install github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl/cmd/grpcurl@latest

If you are sure that all the requirements are installed, you can now proceed to the installing node section.
