Installation

Guide for downloading and using Fermah Prover Node binary.

Recommended: You can get fully onboarded into Fermah using the script if you opt yes in the onboarding prompt.

Make sure you have your ECDSA private key ready, it can be placed into PRIVATE_KEY env var before running the install script.

During installation, you need to provide your assigned prover node name, so it fetches the right configuration file.

We provide an Install Script for obtaining fpn (Fermah Prover Node) pre-built binaries.

The script is able to:

• Install or update latest release

• Download the default prover (ZkSync)

• Install configuration files

• Setup telemetry collector (requires Docker)

• Onboard into Fermah Network (requires Whitelist Keys)

bash <(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/fermah-releases/install.sh)

Script will run in interactive mode by default. You may pass in --help to see what arguments are available.

Then you need to run fpn as a daemon. We recommend using systemd (see Starting a Node for more details).

We recommend verifying the script first through GPG verification, check GPG.

Please contact us if you need other prebuilt binaries.

Note that ubuntu-latest also applies to most linux distros, as long as the system's GLIBC version is 2.34+ and CUDA version is 12.2.

Release will be installed to ~/.fermah/bin/prover-node-<version> and soft linked to prover-node. If you wish to run the binary using this name, you may add the folder to the PATH environment variable using the hint provided by the install script.
