Install the SDK
This guide will explain how to install the Cosmos SDK onto your system. With the SDK installed on a server, you can participate in the latest testnet as either a Full Node or a Validator.
Install Go
Install go
by following the official docs. Remember to set your $GOPATH
, $GOBIN
, and $PATH
environment variables, for example:
mkdir -p $HOME/go/bin
echo "export GOPATH=$HOME/go" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo "export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$GOBIN" >> ~/.bash_profile
::: tip Go 1.10+ is required for the Cosmos SDK. :::
Install Cosmos SDK
Next, let's install the testnet's version of the Cosmos SDK.
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/cosmos
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/cosmos
git clone https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk
cd cosmos-sdk && git checkout v0.19.0
make get_tools && make get_vendor_deps && make install
That will install the gaiad
and gaiacli
binaries. Verify that everything is OK:
$ gaiad version
0.19.0-c6711810
$ gaiacli version
0.19.0-c6711810
Run a Full Node
With Cosmos SDK installed, you can run a full node on the latest testnet.
