This repo provides various form of distribution for tezos-related executables
(tezos-client, tezos-client-admin, tezos-node, tezos-baker,
tezos-accuser, tezos-endorser, tezos-signer and tezos-protocol-compiler).
Recomended way to get these binaries is to download them from assets from github release. Go to the latest release and download desired assets.
Some of the individual binaries contain protocol name to determine with which protocol binary is compatible with. If this is not the case, then consult release notes to check which protocols are supported by that binary.
If you are using Ubuntu you can use PPA in order to install tezos-* executables.
E.g, in order to do install tezos-client or tezos-baker run the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:serokell/tezos && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tezos-client
# dpkg-source prohibits uppercase in the packages names so the protocol
# name is in lowercase
sudo apt-get install tezos-baker-006-pscartha
Once you install such packages the commands tezos-* will be available.
If you are using Fedora you can use Copr in order to install tezos-*
executables.
E.g. in order to install tezos-client or tezos-baker run the following commands:
# use dnf
sudo dnf copr enable @Serokell/Tezos
sudo dnf install tezos-client
sudo dnf install tezos-baker-006-PsCARTHA
# or use yum
sudo yum copr enable @Serokell/Tezos
sudo yum install tezos-baker-006-PsCARTHA
Once you install such packages the commands tezos-* will be available.
Download binaries from release assets.
Make it executable:
chmod +x tezos-client
Run ./tezos-client or add it to your PATH to be able to run it anywhere.
tezos-node, tezos-accuser-006-pscartha, tezos-baker-006-pscartha and
tezos-endorser-006-pscartha packages have systemd files included to the
Ubuntu and Fedora packages.
Once you've installed the packages with systemd unit, you can run the service with the binary from the package using the following command:
systemctl start <package-name>.service
To stop the service run:
systemctl stop <package-name>.service
Each service has configuration file located in /etc/default. Default
configurations can be found here.
Files created by the services will be located in /var/lib/tezos/ by default.
tezos-{accuser, baker, endorser}-<protocol> services can have configurable
data directory.
tezos-{accuser, endorser} have configurable node address, so that they can be used with both
remote and local node.
If you're not using Ubuntu or Fedora you can still construct systemd units for binaries from scratch.
For this you'll need .service file to define systemd service. The easiest way
to get one is to run gen_systemd_service_file.py.
You should specify service name as a first argument and optionally provide target protocol
as a second argument, e.g.:
./gen_systemd_service_file.py tezos-node
# or
./gen_systemd_service_file.py tezos-baker 006-PsCARTHA
After that you'll have .service file in the current directory.
Apart, from .service file you'll need service startup script and default configuration
file, they can be found in scripts and
defaults folders respectively.
This repository provides two distinct ways for building and packaging tezos binaries:
