Install cored

This document provides the instruction on how to install the release binaries of the cored.

Choose preferred way to install cored:

1. Install prebuilt cored (for linux OS only)
2. Build from sources

Install prebuilt cored

Note: this option supports linux OS only. Also, it should be used in case you interact with the chain with the CLI only.

• Verify that network variables are set up correctly.

• Create a proper folder structure for cored.

  mkdir -p $COREUM_HOME/bin
  

• Install the required util: curl.

• Download cored and put it in the required folder.

  curl -LO https://github.com/CoreumFoundation/coreum/releases/download/$COREUM_VERSION/$COREUM_BINARY_NAME
  mv $COREUM_BINARY_NAME $COREUM_HOME/bin/cored
  

• • If you are getting 404 error at this step, run:

    echo https://github.com/CoreumFoundation/coreum/releases/download/$COREUM_VERSION/$COREUM_BINARY_NAME
    

    And check if it generates a right link. It should lead to one of our releases. If it doesn't - double-check your network variables.

• Add cored to PATH and make it executable.

  export PATH=$PATH:$COREUM_HOME/bin
  chmod +x $COREUM_HOME/bin/*
  

  Attention! Set this variable globally so it will be automatically set after starting a new terminal session.

• Test cored.
