Installing migalood
Choose an Operating System
The operating system you use for your node is entirely your personal preference. You will be able to compile the Migaloo
daemon on most modern Linux distributions and recent versions of macOS.
Install prerequisites
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Install Go Lang
Follow the instructions here to install Go. Please install Go v1.20 or later.
For an Ubuntu LTS, you can probably use:
wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.20.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go && tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.20.linux-amd64.tar.gz
Unless you want to configure in a non-standard way, then set these in the .profile
in the user's home (i.e. ~/
) folder.
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export GO111MODULE=on
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/go/bin
After updating your ~/.profile
you will need to source it:
source ~/.profile
Build Migaloo from source
git clone [email protected]:White-Whale-Defi-Platform/migaloo-chain.git
cd migaloo-chain
git fetch
git checkout <version-tag>
Migaloo's current Mainnet tag can be found here: https://github.com/White-Whale-Defi-Platform/migaloo-chain/releases
Once you're on the correct tag, you can build:
# in migaloo-chain directory
make install
To confirm that the installation has succeeded, you can run:
which migalood
# Should return similar to:
# /home/<username>/go/bin/migalood
migalood version
# Will return the version number of the branch checked out above
Should you come across any issue when installing migalood, please reach out via the Developer Channel on Discord
