Setup

These instructions will help you set up a new Nomic Stakenet node from scratch. If you are already running an older Nomic node, follow the upgrade instructions instead.

Requirements

  • >= 4GB RAM

  • >= 100GB of storage

  • Linux or macOS

1. Build Nomic

Start by building Nomic.

  1. Install rustup if you haven't already:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

  1. Install required dependencies:

Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev pkg-config clang

Fedora:

sudo dnf install clang openssl-devel && sudo dnf group install "C Development Tools and Libraries"

  1. Clone the repo and switch to the correct directory and branch:

git clone https://github.com/nomic-io/nomic.git
cd nomic
git checkout v9.0.0

  1. Build and install. This adds a nomic command to your PATH:

cargo install --locked --path .
nomic --version

2. Run your node

Start your Nomic node:

nomic start

This will run the Nomic state machine and a CometBFT process. For new nodes, the state-sync process will run automatically to get the node up to speed with the current chain.
