Basic Build Instructions

System-specific Software Dependencies:

Building Lotus requires some system dependencies, usually provided by your distribution.

Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install mesa-opencl-icd ocl-icd-opencl-dev gcc git bzr jq pkg-config curl clang build-essential hwloc libhwloc-dev wget -y && sudo apt upgrade -y

Fedora:

sudo dnf -y install gcc make git bzr jq pkgconfig mesa-libOpenCL mesa-libOpenCL-devel opencl-headers ocl-icd ocl-icd-devel clang llvm wget hwloc hwloc-devel

For other distributions you can find the required dependencies here. For instructions specific to macOS, you can find them here.

Go

To build Lotus, you need a working installation of Go 1.22.7 or higher:

wget -c https://golang.org/dl/go1.22.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz -O - | sudo tar -xz -C /usr/local

TIP: You'll need to add /usr/local/go/bin to your path. For most Linux distributions you can run something like:

echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

See the official Golang installation instructions if you get stuck.

Build and install Lotus

Once all the dependencies are installed, you can build and install the Lotus suite (lotus, lotus-miner, and lotus-worker).

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus.git
cd lotus/

Note: The default branch master is the dev branch where the latest new features, bug fixes and improvement are in. However, if you want to run lotus on Filecoin mainnet and want to run a production-ready lotus, get the latest release.
