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 %}

Follow 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
