## Installing
|
||||
To use Geth, you need to install it first. You can install the geth software in a variety
|
||||
of ways. These include installing it via your favorite package manager; downloading a
|
||||
standalone pre-built binary; running as a docker container; or building it yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
You can install the Go implementation of Ethereum in a variety of ways. These include installing it via your favorite package manager; downloading a standalone pre-built binary; running as a docker container; or building it yourself. This section highlights the common options, but you can find others in the left hand menu, or in the [install and build](/install-and-build/Installing-Geth) section.
|
||||
|
||||
### Install on macOS via Homebrew
|
||||
|
||||
You can install go-ethereum on macOS using [our Homebrew tap](https://github.com/ethereum/homebrew-ethereum). If you don't have Homebrew, [install it first](http://brew.sh/).
|
||||
|
||||
Then run the following commands to add the tap and install geth:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
brew tap ethereum/ethereum
|
||||
brew install ethereum
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_[Read this guide](/install-and-build/Installing-Geth#install-on-macos-via-homebrew) further Homebrew options._
|
||||
|
||||
### Install on Ubuntu via PPAs
|
||||
|
||||
You can install go-ethereum on Ubuntu-based distributions using the built-in launchpad PPAs (Personal Package Archives). We provide a single PPA repository with both our stable and our development releases for Ubuntu versions `trusty`, `xenial`, `zesty` and `artful`.
|
||||
|
||||
Install dependencies first:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To enable our launchpad repository run:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After that you can install the stable version of go-ethereum:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install ethereum
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_[Read this guide](/install-and-build/Installing-Geth#install-on-ubuntu-via-ppas) for further Ubuntu options._
|
||||
|
||||
### Install on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
_Although we were shipping Chocolatey packages for a time after the Frontier release, the constant manual approval process led to us stopping distribution. We will try to negotiate trusted package status for go-ethereum so the Chocolatey option is available again._
|
||||
|
||||
Until then grab a Windows installer from our [downloads](https://geth.ethereum.org/downloads) page.
|
||||
|
||||
### Download standalone binary
|
||||
|
||||
We distribute all our stable releases and development builds as standalone binaries. These are useful for scenarios where you'd like to: a) install a specific version of our code (e.g., for reproducible environments); b) install on machines without internet access (e.g., air gapped computers); or c) do not like automatic updates and would rather manually install software.
|
||||
|
||||
We create the following standalone binaries:
|
||||
|
||||
- 32bit, 64bit, ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7 and ARM64 archives (`.tar.gz`) on Linux
|
||||
- 64bit archives (`.tar.gz`) on macOS
|
||||
- 32bit and 64bit archives (`.zip`) and installers (`.exe`) on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
For all binaries we provide two options, one containing only Geth, and another containing Geth along with all the developer tools from our repository (`abigen`, `bootnode`, `disasm`, `evm`, `rlpdump`). Read our [`README`](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum#executables) for more information about these executables.
|
||||
|
||||
To download these binaries, head to the [Go Ethereum Downloads](https://geth.ethereum.org/downloads) page.
|
||||
|
||||
### Run inside docker container
|
||||
|
||||
We maintain a Docker image with recent snapshot builds from our `develop` branch on DockerHub. In addition to the container based on Ubuntu (158 MB), there is a smaller image using Alpine Linux (35 MB). To use the alpine [tag](https://hub.docker.com/r/ethereum/client-go/tags), replace `ethereum/client-go` with `ethereum/client-go:alpine` in the examples below.
|
||||
|
||||
To pull the image and start a node, run these commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
docker pull ethereum/client-go
|
||||
docker run -it -p 30303:30303 ethereum/client-go
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
_[Read this guide](/install-and-build/Installing-Geth#run-inside-docker-container) for further Docker options._
|
||||
Head over to the [install and build](/install-and-build/Installing-Geth) section and
|
||||
follow the instructions for your operating system.
