Install injectived

injectived is the command-line interface and daemon that connects to Injective and enables you to interact with the Injective blockchain. Injective core is the official Golang reference implementation of the Injective node software.

Requirements​

  • Golang v1.16.1 - go1.17.1 linux/amd64
  • Ensure your GOPATH and GOBIN environment variables are set up.
  • Linux users: install build-essential.
  • 8 vCPU (4 physical core), x86_64 architecture processor
  • 64 GB RAM (or equivalent swap file set up)
  • 1 TB of storage space

Option 1: From binary​

The easiest way to install injectived and Injective core is by downloading a pre-built binary for your operating system. Download the most recent Injective binaries from the official injective-chain-releases repo.

tip

Make sure to check the releases repo above for the most recent version!

wget https://github.com/InjectiveLabs/injective-chain-releases/releases/download/v1.x.x-x/linux-amd64.zip

This zip file will contain three binaries and a virtual machine:

  • injectived - Injective daemon
  • peggo - Injective ERC-20 bridge relayer daemon
  • injective-exchange - the Injective Exchange daemon
  • libwasmvm.x86_64.so - the wasm virtual machine which is needed to execute smart contracts.

Unzip and add injectived, injective-exchange and peggo to your /usr/bin. Also add libwasmvm.x86_64.so to user library path /usr/lib.

unzip linux-amd64.zip
sudo mv injectived peggo injective-exchange /usr/bin
sudo mv libwasmvm.x86_64.so /usr/lib

Check your binary version by running following commands.

injectived version
peggo version
injective-exchange version

Confirm your version matches the output below

injectived version
Version dev (f32e524)

peggo version
Version dev (b5c188c)

injective-exchange version
Version dev (ca1da5e)

Option 2: From source​

Note: you will only install injectived but not injective-exchange, peggo or libwasmvm.x86_64.so using this option. If you are using MacOS you can only install injectived from source.

Get the Injective core source code​

Use git to retrieve Injective core.

Clone the injective repo:

git clone https://github.com/InjectiveFoundation/injective-core

Build Injective core from source​

Build Injective core, and install the injectived executable to your GOPATH environment variable.

cd injective-core
make install

Verify your Injective core installation​

Verify that Injective core is installed correctly.
