The operating system you use for your node is entirely your personal preference. You will be able to compile the
migaloo daemon on most modern linux distributions and recent versions of macOS.
{% hint style="info" %} For the tutorial, it is assumed that you are using an Ubuntu LTS release.
If you have chosen a different operating system, you will need to modify your commands to suit your operating system. {% endhint %}
# update the local package list and install any available upgrades
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt upgrade -y
# install toolchain and ensure accurate time synchronization
sudo apt-get install make build-essential gcc git jq chrony -yFollow the instructions here to install Go. Please install Go v1.20 or later.
For an Ubuntu LTS, you can probably use:
wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.20.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.20.linux-amd64.tar.gzUnless you want to configure in a non-standard way, then set these in the .profile in the user's home (i.e. ~/) folder.
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GO111MODULE=on
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/binAfter updating your ~/.profile you will need to source it:
source ~/.profilegit clone [email protected]:White-Whale-Defi-Platform/migaloo-chain.git
cd migaloo-chain
git fetch
git checkout <version-tag>Migaloo's mainnet is not live yet. Once it is launched, you can review the latest mainnet version tag here.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The testnet tag is v1.0.0-rc0 - i.e:
git checkout v1.0.0-rc0{% endhint %}
Once you're on the correct tag, you can build:
# in migaloo-chain dir
make installTo confirm that the installation has succeeded, you can run:
which migalood
# Should return similar to:
# /home/<username>/go/bin/migalood
migalood version
# Will return the version number of the branch checked out aboveContinue with Join the Mainnet or Join the Testnet.
