Write this file as /mnt/Ethereum/geth/geth.sh #!/bin/bashĭATAD="-datadir /mnt/Ethereum/geth/datadir" Now we write the geth.sh script you saw before. This launch script is a convenient way to run geth with all the configurable parameters you want. … wait some minutes … The running environment Folder structureĪssuming that your SSD partition is mounted under /mnt/Ethereum, proceed to make a similar working directory structure for geth ├── binĪdd geth to your system path (make sure /usr/local/bin is in that path) cd /usr/local/bin Get the last version of geth from the git repo and compile it git clone
Sudo apt install make htop build-essential Then sudo apt install unzip git sysstat ntpdate Somehow like this: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin Change the configuration file, reload it and test. Depending on the shell you are using you might need to change a different. Sudo tar -C /usr/local -xvf go1.15.3.Īdd GO to your path. Get your CPU and OS version Navigate to and get the last available release for ARM wget
Head to and download the right stable version for your architecture (ARM).Ĭongratulations, you are almost done Geth form source (are you sure?)įirst you have to download and install Go. Unless you have specific need just go with the prebuild stable version. You can use a pre-build binary or compile from source. $ sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile restart Install Geth
Reboot and check that you can access internet and have the ssd partition mounted.
use balena etcher to write it to the SD card.download the most recent image of the OS.There are tons of tutorials and a nice official documentation about that so I won’t go over it here.
