Step 2: Download Stadernode

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 exit command 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/v1.6.5/stader-cli-linux-amd64 -O ~/bin/stader-cli

  • Wget link ARM64(Linux): wget https://staderlabs.com/eth/releases/stader-node-build/permissionless/v1.6.5/stader-cli-linux-arm64 -O ~/bin/stader-cli

  • Wget link (MacOS - Intel): wget https://staderlabs.com/eth/releases/stader-node-build/permissionless/v1.6.5/stader-cli-darwin-amd64 -O ~/bin/stader-cli

  • Wget link (MacOS - M1): wget https://staderlabs.com/eth/releases/stader-node-build/permissionless/v1.6.5/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): 153d4b004c9219d7e12ec046a5901300b87438edeb1e4162148d280f3ea0cf73
ARM64(Linux): 5f58a97fb64941590cc34526fbb4c58a4cc380da4458f68b9eaf8f30be7d17e5
MacOS-Intel: 2dd6dd14ecc4192a5b35624bf41f1c18e688d94206c2ba6a1bdae1ad9ff1e887
MacOS-M1: cb2687840c3820a213ed5d7c6be74d34697f04028512504c5ac9c08eb0dc8f3d

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 command: 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.

Installing wget on 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

Installing wget on 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: v1.6.5

After successfully downloading your Stader node, proceed to Step 3 to install the node.
