Install

Source

  1. Install Go 1.22.2

  2. Clone this repo

  3. Install the celestia-app CLI

    make install

Prebuilt binary

If you'd rather not install from source, you can download a prebuilt binary from the releases page.

  1. Navigate to the latest release on https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-app/releases.

  2. Download the binary for your platform (e.g. celestia-app_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz) from the Assets section. Tip: if you're not sure what platform you're on, you can run uname -a and look for the operating system (e.g. Linux, Darwin) and architecture (e.g. x86_64, arm64).

  3. Extract the archive

    tar -xvf celestia-app_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
  4. Verify the extracted binary works

    ./celestia-appd --help
  5. [Optional] verify the prebuilt binary checksum. Download checksums.txt and then verify the checksum:

    sha256sum --ignore-missing --check checksums.txt

    You should see output like this:

    celestia-app_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz: OK

See https://docs.celestia.org/nodes/celestia-app for more information.

It is especially important to include an ! (e.g. feat!:) if the PR includes a breaking change.

This repo contains multiple go modules. When using it, rename go.work.example to go.work and run go work sync.
