Install celestia-node ​

This tutorial goes over building and installing celestia-node. This tutorial assumes you completed the steps in setting up your development environment.

Install the celestia-node binary by running the following commands:

  1. Remove any existing copy of celestia-node, clone the repository, and change into the directory:

    bash
    cd $HOME
rm -rf celestia-node
git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-node.git
cd celestia-node/
    cd $HOME
rm -rf celestia-node
git clone https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-node.git
cd celestia-node/

  2. Check out to the desired version, based on the network you will use:

    bash
    git checkout tags/v0.11.0
    git checkout tags/v0.11.0
    bash
    git checkout tags/v0.11.0
    git checkout tags/v0.11.0

  3. Build the celestia binary:

    bash
    make build
    make build

  4. Install the binary:

    bash
    make install
    make install
    bash
    make go-install
    make go-install

  5. Build the cel-key utility:

    bash
    make cel-key
    make cel-key

  6. Verify that the binary is working and check the version:

    bash
    celestia version
    celestia version

The output will show the semantic version of celestia-node, commit hash, build date, system version, and Golang version.
