gitopiad Installation
You can follow either of the following methods to install gitopiad in your system.
Download the release binaries
You can find the binaries for common architectures here.
Building from source (Recommended)
This guide will explain how to install the
gitopiadapplication onto your system. With these installed on a server, you can participate in the network as either a Full Node or a Validator.
Install build requirements
Install make and gcc.
On Ubuntu this can be done with the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y make gcc
Install Go
Install go by following the official docs.
Remember to set your $PATH environment variable, for example:
mkdir -p $HOME/go/bin
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
Go 1.19+ or later is required.
Build the binary
To continue, you need to install the git-remote-gitopia helper. This will allow your command line to use the gitopia:// transport. To install git-remote-gitopia, follow the instructions here.
Next, let's build the latest version of Gitopia. Make sure you git checkout the v3.3.0 tag.
git clone -b v3.3.0 gitopia://gitopia/gitopia
cd gitopia && make install
That will install the gitopiad binary.
If you still have issues at this step, please check that you have the latest stable version of GO installed.
Using gitopiad
Once you have the latest gitopiad binary, run the below command to verify installation and check the version you are running.
gitopiad version --long
The above command should output something similar to the following:
build_deps:
