We publish packages for major platforms on GitHub. Each release comes with release notes describing the installation and configuration instructions of the Aeternity node.

Below is an overview of the installation process for different platforms, building the package from source, configuration and operation of the Aeternity node.

Please use the latest published stable release rather than the master branch. The master branch tracks the ongoing efforts towards the next stable release to be published though it is not guaranteed to be stable.

By using the installer to install the latest stable version:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aeternity/installer/v2.0.0/install.sh)

Or running a docker container (latest tag):

docker pull aeternity/aeternity
docker run -p 3013:3013 -p 3015:3015 aeternity/aeternity
