The fastest and easiest way to install the tendermint
binary
is to run this script on
a fresh Ubuntu instance,
or this script
on a fresh FreeBSD instance. Read the comments / instructions carefully (i.e., reset your terminal after running the script,
make sure you are okay with the network connections being made).
To download pre-built binaries, see the releases page.
You'll need go
installed and the required
environment variables set, which can be done with the following commands:
echo export GOPATH=\"\$HOME/go\" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo export PATH=\"\$PATH:\$GOPATH/bin\" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo export GO111MODULE=on >> ~/.bash_profile
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint
git clone https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint.git
cd tendermint
make tools
make install
to put the binary in $GOPATH/bin
or use:
make build
to put the binary in ./build
.
DISCLAIMER The binary of tendermint is build/installed without the DWARF symbol table. If you would like to build/install tendermint with the DWARF symbol and debug information, remove -s -w
from BUILD_FLAGS
in the make file.
The latest tendermint version
is now installed.
To start a one-node blockchain with a simple in-process application:
tendermint init
tendermint node --proxy_app=kvstore
If you already have Tendermint installed, and you make updates, simply
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
make install
To upgrade, run
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
git pull origin master
make install
Install LevelDB (minimum version is 1.7).
Install LevelDB with snappy (optionally). Below are commands for Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libsnappy-dev
wget https://github.com/google/leveldb/archive/v1.20.tar.gz && \
tar -zxvf v1.20.tar.gz && \
cd leveldb-1.20/ && \
make && \
sudo cp -r out-static/lib* out-shared/lib* /usr/local/lib/ && \
cd include/ && \
sudo cp -r leveldb /usr/local/include/ && \
sudo ldconfig && \
rm -f v1.20.tar.gz
Set a database backend to cleveldb
:
# config/config.toml
db_backend = "cleveldb"
To install Tendermint, run:
CGO_LDFLAGS="-lsnappy" make install_c
or run:
CGO_LDFLAGS="-lsnappy" make build_c
which puts the binary in ./build
.
