Basic setup
For current full-node installation instructions, use the Lotus installation documentation and the latest Lotus release. Build requirements change with Lotus releases, so check the release's go.mod and install notes before pinning toolchain versions.
The source-build flow for a mainnet Lotus daemon looks like this:
git clone https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus.git
cd lotus
LOTUS_RELEASE="$(git tag --list 'v*' --sort=-v:refname | grep -v '-' | head -n 1)"
git checkout "$LOTUS_RELEASE"
make clean lotus
sudo make install-daemon
lotus --version
lotus daemon
For Calibration testnet, build the Calibration binary instead:
make clean && make calibnet-lotus
sudo make install-daemon
lotus --version
lotus daemon
Storage-provider operation no longer starts with lotus-miner run on a laptop. Use Lotus for chain access, then follow current Curio, Boost, and PDP guidance for provider workflows. See Install and run PDP, Software components, and the Curio documentation for provider-specific setup.
