Manual Installation
This page describes how to install the Humanode Peer without the use of Humanode Launcher or Humnode Distribution.
We have a JSON manifest that you can use to obtain the package.
Check the Chains page for the particular chain you would like to run. We will use the Humanode Mainnet manifest in the instructions below as an example.
To download and inspect the manifest run the command below:
$ curl -sSL "https://chainspec.mainnet.stages.humanode.io/latest/manifest.json" | jq .

Find the binaries for your platform in the manifest. In case of Linux, it's an entry with the following subUrl:
/latest/binaries/Linux-x86_64/humanode-peer
Use the path together with the domain from the manifest URL to get the binary download link:
https://chainspec.mainnet.stages.humanode.io/latest/binaries/Linux-x86_64/humanode-peer
Download the
humanode-peer
binary using the obtained link:$ curl -sSL "https://chainspec.mainnet.stages.humanode.io/latest/binaries/Linux-x86_64/humanode-peer" -o humanode-peer
Make the binary executable and install it into the system:
$ chmod +x humanode-peer
$ sudo cp humanode-peer /usr/local/bin/
Using the same manifest we have obtained above, find and download the
chainspec.json
file.In our case, this is the file with the following
subPath
:/latest/chainspec.json
Use the hostname from the manifest URL to obtain the chainspec file URL, like in the
humanode-peer
step:https://chainspec.mainnet.stages.humanode.io/latest/chainspec.json
Then download the
chainspec.json
$ curl -sSL "https://chainspec.mainnet.stages.humanode.io/latest/chainspec.json" -o ~/chainspec.json
We are now ready to proceed to the next step.
In the same way, you can download and use
ngrok
, humanode-websocket-tunnel
and ngrok-wrapper
.
