All Platforms
If dotnet command is not found then probably you forgot to install SDK (see instructions above)
On Linux distributions we suggest that at this stage you start screen so you can go back to session with screen -rd command later on
Clone the Nethermind repository and its submodules, then build Nethermind in Release or Debug mode.
1
git clone https://github.com/NethermindEth/nethermind.git --recursive
2
cd nethermind/src/Nethermind
3
dotnet build Nethermind.sln -c Release
Copied!
Launch goerli testnet for quick sync and testing
1
cd Nethermind.Runner
2
dotnet run --no-build -c Release -- --config goerli
Copied!
You can confirm the latest block of the Goerli tetsnet here:
https://blockscout.com/eth/goerli/
blockscout.com
or to run Ethereum Mainnet:
1
cd Nethermind.Runner
2
dotnet run --no-build -c Release -- --config mainnet
Copied!
Potential Issues
