Cardano Linux Binaries

Linux 64-bit binaries of cardano-node and cardano-cli statically linked to musl libc to be able to run on any x86-64 Linux distribution, without any dependency.

The current configuration from IOHK is bundled too to offer a ready to run edge node that can be converted to a relay or block producer node with the appropriate configuration.

Install

mkdir cardano
cd cardano

curl -L https:/github.com/smaug-group/cardano-linux-binaries/releases/latest/download/cardano.tar.gz | tar xz

See Releases for previous releases.

Run node

./run

The node will run on port 3001.

For more information, see cardano-node documentation.

Run CLI

export CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH=`pwd`/socket
bin/cardano-cli

To enable bash auto-completion:

source <(bin/cardano-cli --bash-completion-script cardano-cli)

Notes

• LiveView and JSON logs are enabled by default in the node config.
• cardano-node is currently built without specific systemd support.
• Binaries are built and released automatically by a Travis-CI job on new tags. Check the tag Travis-CI log to verify the build and the binaries SHA1 computed at the end.
• Binaries are built using Docker and Alpine Linux, you can also copy the Dockerfile and rebuild yourself the statically linked binaries.
