Install / Compile last BitCanna binary

bcnad is a blockchain application built using Cosmos SDK v.0.45.1 and Tendermint v.0.34.15.

In this guide you will find how to install the last binary or compile it by yourself.

  • Before you start, you might want to ensure your system is up to date. Besides, you can install a utility named jq to read and navigate in JSON files and outputs.

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential curl wget jq

  • Increasing the default open files limit. If we don't raise this value, nodes will crash once the network grows large enough.

    sudo su -c "echo 'fs.file-max = 65536' >> /etc/sysctl.conf"
sudo sysctl -p

Option 1. Download and install the last binary

By downloading the binary we avoid compiling the source code.

  1. Download the latest version (v.1.3.1) from Github:

    cd $HOME
wget -nc https://github.com/BitCannaGlobal/bcna/releases/download/v.1.3.1/bcnad
chmod +x bcnad
sudo mv bcnad /usr/local/bin/

  2. Check the right version (1.3.1):

    bcnad version
   >>> response: 1.3.1

  3. Check the sha256sum to verify the integrity.

    sha256sum ./bcnad

    It must return: ad6784e945135454efc436d22a7661db36bc6a396e7d9cdb7572c4d8d5ccef3f

Option 2. Compile instructions:

Install GoLang

  1. Install Go 1.17.x The official instructions can be found here: https://golang.org/doc/install

  2. Firstly, remove any existing old Go installation as root

    sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go

  3. Download the software:

    curl https://dl.google.com/go/go1.17.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar -C/usr/local -zxvf -

  4. Update environment variables to include Go (copy everything & paste)

    cat <<'EOF' >>$HOME/.profile
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GO111MODULE=on
export GOBIN=$HOME/go/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOBIN
EOF
source $HOME/.profile

  5. To verify that Go is installed:

    go version

    Should return go version go1.17.7 linux/amd64

Download source code and compile

  1. Download the source code using git

    git clone https://github.com/BitCannaGlobal/bcna.git
cd bcna
git checkout v.1.3.1
make build   #it build the binary in build/ folder

  2. Verify the version:

    build/bcnad version

    The output must be .1.3.1

  3. You now have two options:

  • Move the binary to the /usr/local/bin path with: 
    sudo mv build/bcnad /usr/local/bin/
  • Or compile and install the binary in the $GOPATH path: 
    make install

Next step: Syncing the chain.
