Install and uninstall

The GaiaNet node utilizes version control from its source GitHub repo. You can check out the GaiaNet node versions from the release page.

Install​

You can install the WasmEdge Runtime on any generic Linux and MacOS platform.

Install the latest version of GaiaNet node​

To install the most recent version of GaiaNet node, run the following command line.

curl -sSfL 'https://github.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/releases/latest/download/install.sh' | bash

The GaiaNet node will be installed in your $HOME/gaianet folder by default.

If you want to install gaianet in a different directory, you can use curl -sSfL 'https://github.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/releases/latest/download/install.sh' | bash -s -- --base <Full_Path> to specify where you want to install GaiaNet. Once you use --base to define a different directory, you should always add --base <Full_Path> to init and start your node. Here is an example:

# Assume that you're in the root directory
mkdir test
curl -sSfL 'https://github.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/releases/latest/download/install.sh' | bash -s --  --base $HOME/test
gaianet init --base $HOME/test
gaianet start --base $HOME/test
gaianet stop --base $HOME/test

Install the specific version of GaiaNet Node​

If you want to install a particular GaiaNet node version, change the version number in the following command line.

curl -sSfL 'https://github.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/releases/download/0.1.3/install.sh' | bash

Check out the release log here.

Update the current Gaianet node​

Simply run the following command to upgrade your node.

curl -sSfL 'https://github.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/releases/latest/download/install.sh' | bash -s -- --upgrade

The upgrade option will keep your node id.

Uninstall​

To uninstall or clear the environment, run the following command.

curl -sSfL 'https://github.com/GaiaNet-AI/gaianet-node/releases/latest/download/uninstall.sh' | bash

Important reminder: This command will remove all the GaiaNet-related files, including the nodeid.json. It's your responsibility to keep your nodeid.json safe. If you want to run the same node after reinstalling, please save the nodeid.json file and frpc.toml file carefully.

What's installed​

If you install the GaiaNet node in the $HOME/gaianet directory by default, you will have the following directories and files after installation:

  • The $HOME/gaianet/bin directory contains the GaiaNet CLI tool, frpc binary and Qdrant Vector database binary.
  • The $HOME/gaianet/ directory contains the llamaedge-api-server.wasm and rag-api-server.wasm for the LLM inference, dashboard (chatbot ui), nodeid.json for the registering your node, and gaianet-domain binary.
  • The $HOME/.wasmedge/bin directory contains the WasmEdge Runtime CLI executable files, which serve as the LLM runtime.
