# How to Run a Callisto Network Node? ![](https://3920319084-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUzLb2yEh5vprUvIcsmqQ%2Fuploads%2Fi5XnPxw7VD14Zw9LHbWS%2FHow%20Run%20Node.png?alt=media\&token=17ed0ecc-5f3c-4e75-bc39-df411a154604) There are 2 options how to run a Callisto Network node. 1. The simpliest way is to download a precompiled binary of of the go-callisto/geth client from github. {% hint style="info" %} {% endhint %} \ After downloading, copy the binary to /usr/local/bin with the name of the binary “geth”.
``` chmod 775 ./geth-linux-amd64 sudo mv ./geth-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/geth ``` 2\. Another option is to compile the source code. To do so please follow the steps below.\ \ This is a simple tutorial for compiling the source code of the go-callisto/geth client. What do you need first? A fresh install of the OSes! Let's Go :)
### **Preparation for UBUNTU 18.04** We start this tutorial by preparing Ubuntu 18.04. It is necessary to install Go. #### Installing Go: ``` $ wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.21.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz $ sudo tar -C /usr/local –xzf go1.21.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz $ sudo chown -R root:root ./go $ sudo mv go /usr/local ``` \ Now we will add PATH to the profile, to do this open the ".profile" file. ``` $ sudo nano ~/.profile ``` Add this 2 lines to the end of the ".profile" file. ``` export GOPATH=$HOME/work export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin ``` ![Add PATH to profile](https://3920319084-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUzLb2yEh5vprUvIcsmqQ%2Fuploads%2FqOT828Swe8qC77zWccCa%2FSans-titre-1.jpg?alt=media\&token=46058bb4-ef62-44ad-ae71-a644fc5fa33f) Load the profile with: ``` $ source ~/.profile ``` Install the dependency for compiling. ``` $ sudo apt-get install build-essential ``` ### **Preparation for CentOS** In this step, we will install the dependencies for the Go-Callisto client compilation. ``` $ sudo yum install wget nano git gcc ``` Installing Go: ``` $ wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.21.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz $ sudo tar -C /usr/local –xzf go1.21.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz ``` Now we will add PATH to the profile, to do this open the ".bash\_profile" file. ``` $ sudo nano ~/.bash_profile ``` Add this line to the end of the ".bash\_profile" file. ``` export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin ``` Load the profile with: ``` $ source ~/.bash_profile ``` ### **Installing Go-Callisto** Now that Go is installed, the next step is to install Go-Callisto/Geth client. The command is same under Ubuntu or CentOS. Clone the repo. ``` $ git clone -b master https://github.com/EthereumCommonwealth/go-callisto.git $ cd go-callisto ``` Make the go-callisto/geth client. ``` $ make geth $ sudo cp build/bin/geth /usr/local/bin/ ``` \ Check Go-Callisto/Geth client version. ``` $ geth version ``` ![Example of Geth Version output.](https://3920319084-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FUzLb2yEh5vprUvIcsmqQ%2Fuploads%2Frb2oljs6XJfGSxKLKK0O%2FSans-titre-1.jpg?alt=media\&token=e4ed2c08-3b14-4d48-bc94-0004d8c44e66) ### **Running The Node** \ To run Go-Callisto/Geth client type the following command: ``` $ geth ``` \ Depending on what you intend to do with the node itself, you have several options. Do you plan to make an Explorer? A mining pool? A web wallet? Or perhaps just run a node?
