Build Terra core¶

Terra core is the official Golang reference implementation of the Terra node software. Use this guide to install Terra core and terrad, the command-line interface and daemon that connects to Terra and enables you to interact with the Terra blockchain.

Get the Terra core source code¶

Use git to retrieve Terra core, and check out the main branch, which contains the latest stable release.
- If you are using LocalTerra or running a validator, use the v0.x.x-oracle tag. Otherwise, use the v0.x.x tag.
- You can find out the latest tag on the tags page or via autocomplete in your terminal: type git checkout v and press <TAB>.
```
git clone https://github.com/terra-money/core
cd core
git checkout [latest version] # ex., git checkout v0.5.13-oracle
```
Build Terra core. This will install the terrad executable to your GOPATH environment variable.
```
make install
```

Verify that Terra core is installed correctly.

terrad version --long

Example:

name: terra
server_name: terrad
client_name: terrad
version: 0.3.0-24-g3684f77
commit: 3684f77faadf6cf200d18e15763316d5d9c5a496
build_tags: netgo,ledger
go: go version go1.13.4 darwin/amd64
# ...And a bunch of dependenecies

Tip

If the terrad: command not found error message is returned, confirm that the Go binary path is correctly configured by running the following command:

export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin
