bcnad is a blockchain application built using Cosmos SDK v.0.50.10 and Comet-BFT v.0.38.15 and IBC-go v8.5.2.
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
By downloading the binary we avoid compiling the source code.
-
Download the latest version (v4.0.2) from Github:
cd $HOME wget -nc https://github.com/BitCannaGlobal/bcna/releases/download/v4.0.2/bcnad_linux_amd64.tar.gz
-
Check the sha256sum for the downloaded file.
sha256sum bcnad_linux_amd64.tar.gz
It must return:
c2dcb6842e2e83ba5fe9b526899650d5e69aff3b3d7721e050e09dc84c74a92b
-
Verify that the version is
4.0.2
rm -f ./bcnad #delete old file if exist tar zxvf bcnad_linux_amd64.tar.gz rm bcnad_linux_amd64.tar.gz chmod +x bcnad ./bcnad version
-
Move the new binary to your machine's PATH and overwrite the previous version
sudo mv bcnad $(which bcnad) #copy&paste don't replace anything
If you know the exact destination you could also run:
sudo mv bcnad /usr/local/bin/ #or wherever you have it
The official instructions can be found here: https://golang.org/doc/install
- Firstly, remove any existing old Go installation as root
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
- Download the software and unpack:
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.23.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzvf go1.23.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
- Update environment variables to include Go (copy everything & paste)
cat <<'EOF' >>$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
- To verify that Go is installed:
Should return
go version
go version go1.23.3 linux/amd64
-
Download the source code using
git
git clone https://github.com/BitCannaGlobal/bcna.git cd bcna git checkout v4.0.2 make build #it build the binary in build/ folder
-
Verify the version:
build/bcnad version
The output must be
v4.0.2
-
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
- Move the binary to the /usr/local/bin path with:
Next step: Syncing the chain.
