To download pre-built binaries, see the releases page.
You'll need go
installed and the required
environment variables set
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint git clone https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint.git cd tendermint
make get_tools make get_vendor_deps
make install
to put the binary in $GOPATH/bin
or use:
make build
to put the binary in ./build
.
The latest tendermint version
is now installed.
If you already have Tendermint installed, and you make updates, simply
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint make install
To upgrade, there are a few options:
- set a new
$GOPATH
and rungo get github.com/tendermint/tendermint/cmd/tendermint
. This makes a fresh copy of everything for the new version. - run
go get -u github.com/tendermint/tendermint/cmd/tendermint
, where the-u
fetches the latest updates for the repository and its dependencies - fetch and checkout the latest master branch in
$GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
, and then runmake get_vendor_deps && make install
as above.
Note the first two options should usually work, but may fail. If they
do, use dep
, as above:
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint make get_vendor_deps make install
Since the third option just uses dep
right away, it should always
work.
To start a one-node blockchain with a simple in-process application:
