Installation

This guide walks you through installing the Solana (X1) tools and Tachyon v2.0.

1. Install Tachyon v2.0 and Solana tools

X1 uses Solana tools to interact with the network. Tachyon v2.0 is the X1 validator client.

Linux

sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.x1.xyz/stable/install)"

Mac

sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.x1.xyz/stable/install)"

Windows

Open a Command Prompt (cmd.exe) as an Administrator and run:

cmd /c "curl https://release.x1.xyz/stable/tachyon-install-init-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.exe --output C:\agave-install-tmp\agave-install-init.exe --create-dirs"
C:\agave-install-tmp\agave-install-init.exe v2.2.0

2: Verify the installation

solana --version
tachyon-validator --version

If you see the versions listed below, the installation was successful:

solana-cli 2.0.XX (src:00000000; feat:XXXXXXXXXXXX, client:Tachyon)
tachyon-validator 2.0.XX (src:00000000; feat:XXXXXXXXXXXX, client:Tachyon)

3: Generate a Solana Keypair

Tip

Write down your mnemonic seed phrase and keep it safe offline. You will need it to recover your keypair.

solana-keygen new
