You'll find below the available ways of getting the needed okp4d binary to start a node.

Supported platforms

okp4d currently supports the following builds.

Platform	Arch	Status
Darwin	amd64	✅
Darwin	arm64	✅
Linux	amd64	✅
Linux	arm64	✅

Release binary

You'll find the released binaries on the GitHub repository. These are statically linked builds, so be careful to choose the right binary for your system (i.e. linux/amd64 or linux/arm64). Checksums are also provided if you wish to verify the integrity of the download.

To easily install okp4d from a GitHub release you can use this oneliner script:

curl https://i.jpillora.com/okp4/okp4d@{data.okp4dVersion}! | bash

caution

By principle, take the time to verify the checksum manually.

Docker

The okp4d binary can be invoked directly through the following docker image:

docker run -ti --rm okp4/okp4d:v7.1.0 --help

tip

Build once, deploy anywhere: The docker image is a multi-arch build supporting both amd64 and arm64 architectures.
