|
|
depending on your preferred workflow:

|
|

|
|

## Use Solana's Install Tool
|
|
|
|
### MacOS & Linux
|
|
|
|
- Open your favorite Terminal application
|
|
|
|
- Install the Solana release
|
|
[LATEST_SOLANA_RELEASE_VERSION](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases/tag/LATEST_SOLANA_RELEASE_VERSION) on your
|
|
machine by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solana-labs/solana/LATEST_SOLANA_RELEASE_VERSION/install/solana-install-init.sh | sh -s - LATEST_SOLANA_RELEASE_VERSION
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- If you are connecting to a different testnet, you can replace `LATEST_SOLANA_RELEASE_VERSION` with the
|
|
release tag matching the software version of your desired testnet, or replace it
|
|
with the named channel `stable`, `beta`, or `edge`.
|
|
|
|
- The following output indicates a successful update:

## Download Prebuilt Binaries
|
|

If you would rather not use `solana-install` to manage the install, you can
|
|
manually download and install the binaries.
|

|
Download the binaries by navigating to
|
|
[https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases/latest](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases/latest),
|
|
download **solana-release-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.bz2**, then extract the
|
|
archive:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
tar jxf solana-release-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

|
binaries with:

|
|
./scripts/cargo-install-all.sh .
|
|
export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH
