From Source

Step 1: Install Golang

Go v1.18+ or higher is required for The GotaBit Node.

1. Install Go 1.18+ from the official site. Ensure that your GOPATH and GOBIN environment variables are properly set up by using the following commands:

For Linux

   wget <https://golang.org/dl/go1.18.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz>
   sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.18.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
   export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
   export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

For Mac

   export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
   export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

Step 2: Get source code

Clone the source code from the official repo and check out the main branch for the latest stable release.

git clone https://github.com/gotabit/gotabit
cd gotabit
git checkout main

Step 3: Build GotaBit node

Run the following command to install gotabitd to your GOPATH and build the GotaBit node. gotabitd is the node daemon and CLI for interacting with a GotaBit node.

make install

Step 4: Verify your installation

Verify your installation with the following command:

gotabitd version --long

A successful installation will return the following:
