Stargaze Installation and Setup

Choose an Operating System

The operating system you use for your node is entirely your personal preference. You will be able to compile the stars daemon on most modern linux distributions and recent versions of macOS.

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.

Install pre-requisites

# 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 -y

Install Go

Follow the instructions to install Go. Please install Go v1.2

For an Ubuntu LTS, you can probably use:

wget https://golang.org/dl/.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.2..linux-amd64.tar.gz

Unless 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/bin

After updating your ~/. you will need to source it:

source ~/.

Build Stargaze from source

git clone https://github.com/public-awesome/stargaze
cd stargaze
git fetch
git checkout

For genesis, the mainnet version tag will be v1.1.0 - i.e:

git checkout v1.1.0

Once you're on the correct tag, you can build:

# in stargaze dir
make install

To confirm that the installation has succeeded, you can run:

which starsd
# Should return similar to:
# /home/<username>/go/bin/starsd

starsd version
# Will return the version number of the branch checked out above

Running a Node

If syncing from genesis, the mainnet version is v1.1.0. If syncing from a recent snapshot or statesync, then the . Be sure to watch the #validator-announcements channel on the S.
