Install from Source
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
This page provides instructions on installing Tendermint from source. To
|
|
download pre-built binaries, see the `Download page <https://tendermint.com/download>`__.
|
|
|
|
Install Go
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have `installed Go <https://golang.org/doc/install>`__ and
|
|
set the ``GOPATH``.
|
|
|
|
Install Tendermint
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
You should be able to install the latest with a simple
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
go get github.com/tendermint/tendermint/cmd/tendermint
|
|
|
|
Run ``tendermint --help`` for more.
|
|
|
|
If the installation failed, a dependency may been updated and become
|
|
incompatible with the latest Tendermint master branch. We solve this
|
|
using the ``glide`` tool for dependency management.
|
|
|
|
Fist, install ``glide``:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
go get github.com/Masterminds/glide
|
|
|
|
Now we can fetch the correct versions of each dependency by running:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
|
|
glide install
|
|
go install ./cmd/tendermint
|
|
|
|
Note that even though ``go get`` originally failed, the repository was
|
|
still cloned to the correct location in the ``$GOPATH``.
|
|
|
|
The latest Tendermint Core version is now installed.
|
|
|
|
Reinstall
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
If you already have Tendermint installed, and you make updates, simply
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
|
|
go install ./cmd/tendermint
|
|
|
|
To upgrade, there are a few options:
|
|
|
|
- set a new ``$GOPATH`` and run
|
|
``go 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 run
|
|
``glide install && go install ./cmd/tendermint`` as above.
|
|
|
|
Note the first two options should usually work, but may fail. If they
|
|
do, use ``glide``, as above:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
|
|
glide install
|
|
go install ./cmd/tendermint
|
|
|
|
Since the third option just uses ``glide`` right away, it should always
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
If ``go get`` failing bothers you, fetch the code using ``git``:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint
|
|
git clone https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
|
|
glide install
|
|
go install ./cmd/tendermint
|
|
|
|
Run
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
To start a one-node blockchain with a simple in-process application:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
tendermint init
|
|
tendermint node --proxy_app=dummy
