Side Protocol Setup Guide

This guide explains how to install the node of the Side Protocol project. Just follow these simple steps and you will definitely be able to install and run it on your device!

Testnet Configuration

Hardware Requirement

  • RAM - 8GB
  • CPU - 4 cores
  • Disk - 500 GB
  • Network - 1 Gbps

Install from source code

After we have got acquainted with the basic information on the node, we can clone the official repository to our device:

# NOTE: Please remove previous git working directory (side) on your local and re-clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/sideprotocol/side.git
cd side
git checkout v0.9.0

Build

make install

Now we need to update our environment and write the following lines there:

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
sided version
0.9.0

The last command is needed simply to verify that our node is installed correctly on the device. If you received an output in your console that indicates the project version, then you did everything right!
