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/v1.6.2/stader-cli-linux-amd64 -O ~/bin/stader-cli

  • Wget link ARM64(Linux): wget https://staderlabs.com/eth/releases/stader-node-build/permissionless/v1.6.2/stader-cli-linux-arm64 -O ~/bin/stader-cli

  • Wget link (MacOS - Intel): wget https://staderlabs.com/eth/releases/stader-node-build/permissionless/v1.6.2/stader-cli-darwin-amd64 -O ~/bin/stader-cli

  • Wget link (MacOS - M1): wget https://staderlabs.com/eth/releases/stader-node-build/permissionless/v1.6.2/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): 1040da26005f0611050ad2ac0d5145ed334fcbc0be9acf67f3d8643751fa2ff4

  • ARM64(Linux): 8fa8b9207e1057176beb13e5ef221d5bff358595ead04eece4630d62aed24972

  • MacOS-Intel: 8cb1c1f939905756cee005f955ba9883986f7fa742d515d1bc136bf793442401

  • MacOS-M1: 071815309f2e933f9314b792bba222f765ec066b650239e765998efe8084503d

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 commands 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.

For 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

For 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: v1.6.2

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