## Install Gaia
|
|
|
|
This guide will explain how to install the `gaiad` and `gaiacli` entrypoints onto your system. With these installed on a server, you can participate in the latest testnet as either a [Full Node](./join-testnet.md#run-a-full-node) or a [Validator](./validators/validator-setup.md).
|
|
|
|
### Install Go
|
|
|
|
Install `go` by following the [official docs](https://golang.org/doc/install). Remember to set your `$GOPATH`, `$GOBIN`, and `$PATH` environment variables, for example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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 1.11.5+** is required for the Cosmos SDK.

|
### Install the binaries
|
|
|
|
Next, let's install the latest version of Gaia. Here we'll use the `master` branch, which contains the latest stable release.
|
|
If necessary, make sure you `git checkout` the correct
|
|
[released version](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/releases).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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 master
|
|
make tools install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> *NOTE*: If you have issues at this step, please check that you have the latest stable version of GO installed.
|
|
|
|
That will install the `gaiad` and `gaiacli` binaries. Verify that everything is OK:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ gaiad version --long
|
|
$ gaiacli version --long
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`gaiacli` for instance should output something similar to:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cosmos-sdk: 0.31.2-10-g1fba7308

|
|
|
|
Build tags indicate special features that have been enabled in the binary.
|
|
|
|
| Build Tag | Description |
|
|

|
|

### Next

|
|
