Installing a node

In this section we explain how to install Stegos Node (stegosd) and Stegos Command-Line Client (stegos) on your server.

Prerequisites:

Linux host (any distro) OR
macOS host OR
Docker-enabled host.

This instruction is about running Stegos Node server using command-line interface. If you need a desktop application, please see "Installing a Desktop App".

Installing on Linux

For production purposes, we recommend official binaries from GitHub Release page. These binaries have been tested on 64-bit versions of Ubuntu 18.04 “Bionic”, Debian 11 “Stretch” and Fedora 30. Other Linux distros should work as well.

Using Pre-built Binaries

Download the latest version of stegosd and stegos binaries from GitHub Releases

curl -L https://github.com/stegos/stegos/releases/download/v1.1/stegosd-linux-x64 -o stegosd
curl -L https://github.com/stegos/stegos/releases/download/v1.1/stegos-linux-x64 -o stegos
chmod a+x stegosd stegos
./stegosd --version
./stegos --version

The script above will download stegosd (Node) and stegos (CLI) binaries from GitHub Releases, change file permissions to “Executable” and print Node’s version:
