If you need to upgrade your node software to V2 please read the following information first:
1.As of 3/5/24, the Node Software once available to download on your computer will no longer be supported as it is running a V1 node.
2. Uninstall the current software running on your computer.
3. Follow the instructions below to set up a local server on your Mac or Linux computer using a terminal window. Please note that with the upgrade to V2, Windows operating systems will not be supported by the V2 node software.
Install on macOS
- Click the magnifying glass on your computer and type "terminal".
- Copy and paste the correct install command for the node you are setting up. Commands are listed below. Make sure to start with "bash" into your terminal window. For instance, if you were installing a Win Node, you'd used the command:
bash <(wget -qO- https://static.connectblockchain.net/go- node/install/linux_amd64.sh) -b win
- You will know the install was successful when you are prompted in the terminal window to enter your Switch account email address and password.
- You did it! The node will run as a background service.
*NOTE - When entering your password, a key icon may appear that seems to prevent you from typing. Please note that this is a security feature, requiring that you type the password in blind before pressing enter, as seen in the below image.
A background service starts up automatically when your computer starts, stays up to date for you, and reconnects for you if an error is ever encountered.
