Build Instructions ​

Go to releases and get the tarball with the client source code.

From within the source directory:

  1. Execute the ./deps.sh script (confirm with “y”) to install system dependencies
  2. Run make -j fdctl to build the fdctl binary.

Then, set up your node machine and create a config file using the Testnet config example. To start the validator:

  • Run fdctl configure init all --config /path/to/config.toml
  • Run fdctl run --config /home/fogo/config.toml

You can use the Firedancer config options page for configuration options.
