Install binaries

Tip

We recommend using the pre-built releases and verifying the provided checksums for security.

The Docker image is also a convenient option for containerized deployment. Building from source provides greater flexibility, but requires a suitable development environment.

Pre-built releases

To access the pre-built releases, visit the GitHub releases page. The client provides cross-compiled AMD64/ARM64 binaries for Darwin and Linux.

Latest release: 1.3.0

The latest stable test release is v1.3.0.

Docker image

To use Docker, you will need to have it installed on your system. If you haven't already installed Docker, you can follow the instructions on the official Docker website for your operating system.

You can access the official Furtheon Docker images hosted under the 0xPolygon registry using the following command:

docker pull 0xpolygon/polygon-edge:latest

Build from source

Before getting started, ensure you have Go installed on your system (version >= 1.15 and <= 1.19). Compatibility is being worked on for other versions and will be available in the near future.

To install Go, run the following command in your CLI (we are using 1.18 in this example): sudo apt-get install golang-1.18. Or, use a package manager like Snapcraft for Linux, Homebrew for Mac, and Chocolatey for Windows.

Use the following commands to clone the Furtheon repository and build from source:

git clone https://github.com/0xPolygon/polygon-edge.git
cd polygon-edge/
go build -o polygon-edge .
