| Installation instructions for Ubuntu |
Installing from PPA
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ethereum
If you want to stay on the bleeding edge, install the ethereum-unstable package instead.
After installing, run geth account new to create an account on your node.
You should now be able to run geth and connect to the network.
Make sure to check the different options and commands with geth --help
You can alternatively install only the geth CLI with apt-get install geth if you don't want to install the other utilities (bootnode, evm, disasm, rlpdump, ethtest).
Building from source
Building Geth (command line client)
Clone the repository to a directory of your choosing:
git clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
Install latest distribution of Go (v1.7) if you don't have it already:
Building geth requires Go and C compilers to be installed:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential golang
Finally, build the geth program using the following command.
cd go-ethereum
make geth
You can now run build/bin/geth to start your node.
