The node can be built and installed wherever java can run.For Ubuntu,sbt packageAll ‌produces only deb package but for other operating systems, ZIP archive or a fat JAR can be used as well. To build and test your Waves Node, you will need to follow these steps:

• Installing Java

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install deafult-jre default-jdk

• Installing SBT

Please follow the SBT installation instructions depending on your operating system (Mac, Windows, Linux).

git clone [email protected]:wavesplatform/Waves.git
cd Waves

sbt test

• Mainnet

sbt packageAll

• Testnet

sbt -Dnetwork=testnet packageAll

DEB package located in target folder. You can replace '*' with actual package name:

sudo dpkg -i target/*.deb

You can replace waves-all*.jar with actual jar name (it should have "all"-word):

java -jar target/waves-all*.jar path/to/config/file

Note. For OSX - homebrew is preferable choice. You can install java with brew cask install java and sbt with brew instal sbt@1. Build/Test steps are common for any OS (but you should use ‘' instead of '/' in windows). {% endprettyhint %}

In the master branch there is a code with functions that is under development. The latest release for each network can be found in the Releases section, you can switch to the corresponding tag and build the application.
