Step 2: Download Stader node
Step 2.1 Open your system ports
A good practice for security would be to close all the ports on your system and then open only the required ports. Below is the list of ports to be opened:
- Execution client: 30303 tcp/udp
- Lighthouse: 9001 tcp/udp
- Prysm: 13000 tcp and 12000 udp
Step 2.2 Move to home directory on your terminal and ensure you not on the root user
Change directory to home directory using the command: cd ~
Note: Please avoid running the commands directly from the root. Always run it from a user. Follow the below steps to exit If your terminal is running from root
- Use the
exitcommand to come out of root user and then - Use
cd ~command to change the directory to home directory.
Step 2.3 Create a new directory on your terminal
Create a new directory using mkdir ~/bin command
Step 2.4 Download Stader CLI
To manage your node, you will need Stader CLI (command-line interface). Download stader CLI using the commands provided in the below doc for your respective system architecture.
- Wget link AMD64(Linux):
wget https://staderlabs.com/eth/releases/stader-node-build/permissionless/v1.6.2/stader-cli-linux-amd64 -O ~/bin/stader-cli - Wget link ARM64(Linux):
wget https://staderlabs.com/eth/releases/stader-node-build/permissionless/v1.6.2/stader-cli-linux-arm64 -O ~/bin/stader-cli - Wget link (MacOS - Intel):
wget https://staderlabs.com/eth/releases/stader-node-build/permissionless/v1.6.2/stader-cli-darwin-amd64 -O ~/bin/stader-cli - Wget link (MacOS - M1):
wget https://staderlabs.com/eth/releases/stader-node-build/permissionless/v1.6.2/stader-cli-darwin-arm64 -O ~/bin/stader-cli
Unique checksums for verification and added security
Verify the checksums using the following command: sha256sum ~/bin/stader-cli
- AMD64(Linux): 1040da26005f0611050ad2ac0d5145ed334fcbc0be9acf67f3d8643751fa2ff4
- ARM64(Linux): 8fa8b9207e1057176beb13e5ef221d5bff358595ead04eece4630d62aed24972
- MacOS-Intel: 8cb1c1f939905756cee005f955ba9883986f7fa742d515d1bc136bf793442401
- MacOS-M1: 071815309f2e933f9314b792bba222f765ec066b650239e765998efe8084503d
Step 2.5 Steps to install wget if you don't have it on your system. If you have Wget already, you can skip this step
To check if Wget is present on your system run the commands wget --version
- You will see the version details if the tools is installed
- You will see “command not found: wget” prompt if the tool is not installed.
For MacOS
- Run the command and download brew:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh>)" - Install wget using the command:
brew install wget
For Debian based systems like Ubuntu
- Run the command and install wget
sudo apt-get install wget -y
Step 2.6 Give permission to run the downloaded application
Run this command chmod +x ~/bin/stader-cli to give permission to run the downloaded application
Step 2.7 Restart the terminal and check the CLI version
After a successful restart of the terminal run the command ~/bin/stader-cli --version to verify if the application was downloaded and running perfectly. A perfect download will display the latest CLI version.
Latest CLI version: v1.6.2
