- # Install Tendermint
-
- The fastest and easiest way to install the `tendermint` binary
- is to run [this script](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/scripts/install/install_tendermint_ubuntu.sh) on
- a fresh Ubuntu instance,
- or [this script](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/scripts/install/install_tendermint_bsd.sh)
- 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).
-
- ## From Binary
-
- To download pre-built binaries, see the [releases page](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/releases).
-
- ## From Source
-
- You'll need `go` [installed](https://golang.org/doc/install) and the required
- [environment variables set](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/wiki/Setting-GOPATH)
-
- ### Get Source Code
-
- ```
- mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint
- cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint
- git clone https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint.git
- cd tendermint
- ```
-
- ### Get Tools & Dependencies
-
- ```
- make get_tools
- ```
-
- ### Compile
-
- ```
- make install
- ```
-
- to put the binary in `$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.
-
- ## Run
-
- To start a one-node blockchain with a simple in-process application:
-
- ```
- tendermint init
- tendermint node --proxy_app=kvstore
- ```
-
- ## Reinstall
-
- 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
- ```
-
- ## Compile with CLevelDB support
-
- Install [LevelDB](https://github.com/google/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`.
