Getting the Validator Software

Installing the Validator software is one of the simplest parts of the process.

Download Binaries via APT Repo
Use the following commands to add Chainflip's APT Repo to your node then use apt install to get the binaries:
Adding Chainflip APT Repo
Download Chainflip GPG key from our official repo:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL repo.chainflip.io/keys/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/chainflip.gpg
Verify the key's authenticity:
gpg --show-keys /etc/apt/keyrings/chainflip.gpg
Important: Make sure you see the following output from the terminal.
pub   rsa3072 2022-11-08 [SC] [expires: 2024-11-07]
      BDBC3CF58F623694CD9E3F5CFB3E88547C6B47C6
uid                      Chainflip Labs GmbH <[email protected]>
sub   rsa3072 2022-11-08 [E] [expires: 2024-11-07]
Note: Make sure you have curl cli tool.
It should be available on most Linux systems out of the box. You can check if you already have it by running curl --version
If it's not present on your machine, install it by running:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install curl
​
After that, add Chainflip's Repo to apt sources list:
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/chainflip.gpg] https://repo.chainflip.io/perseverance/ focal main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chainflip.list
Installing The Packages
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y chainflip-cli chainflip-node chainflip-engine
