Installation f(x)Core
This guide will explain how to install the fxcored
CLI onto your system. With this installed on a server, you can participate on the mainnet as either a Full Node or a Validator.
Additionally, you may refer to this YouTube tutorial video to set up your validator.
Hardware Requirements
We recommend the following for running f(x)Core:
4 or more CPU cores
At least 500G of disk storage
At least 8G of memory
At least 10mbps network bandwidth
To see a quick cloud setup on how to setup and deploy it on the cloud.
Install build requirements
Install make
and gcc
.
On Ubuntu this can be done with the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y make gcc
Ps:
sudo apt-get install -y make gcc
may have encountered a problem with locked files, just trysudo apt-get install -y make gcc
again.
Ensure you have Homebrew installed.
Once you have Homebrew installed, you may run the following commands to install make
:
brew install make
and gcc
:
brew install gcc
We'll be needing these commands later so let's install the necessary packages:
brew install git
brew install wget
You will need to run git bash. You may find the installation link here.
Ensure you have make
and gcc
installed and that the paths are set correctly for git bash.
One option for installing gcc
can be found here.
You may select tdm64-gcc-10.3.0-2
Restart gitbash after installing
One option for installing make
is using chocolate
, more information can be found here.
Once you have chocolate installed, run this command:
make sure to run gitbash as administrator mode if the following commands do not work
choco install make
Ensure you have all the necessary dependencies and compilers.
gcc --version
will return:
gcc.exe (tdm64-1) 10.3.0

Install Go
Install go
by following the official docs. Please select your respective environment❗
For Ubuntu environment, there may be
permissions denied
issues with unzipping the go zip file, try usingsudo su
to resolve it.
Especially if you are remoting into a Ubuntu terminal, run this command to download the go
installer:
wget -c https://dl.google.com/go/go1.20.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
After you have downloaded the package and you may proceed to step 2 of the official docs. Choose your system OS and follow the instructions stated.
Go 1.19+ or later is required for the f(x)Core. If you are remoting into a terminal, you may input the following command:
Setting environment variables:
mkdir -p $HOME/go/bin
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.profile
echo "export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin" >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile
Install the binaries
Next, let's install the latest version of f(x)Core. Make sure you have git installed if not you will be prompted to install git
. Follow the instruction in the terminal.
git clone --branch release/v3.1.x https://github.com/functionx/fx-core.git
cd fx-core
git clone --branch release/v3.1.x https://github.com/functionx/fx-core.git
cd fx-core
You should run your commands in gitbash. But open fxcored.exe file using cmd prompt
Make sure the name of your folder does not have whitespaces!
git clone --branch release/v3.1.x https://github.com/functionx/fx-core.git
cd fx-core
You may find the latest branches here: https://github.com/FunctionX/fx-core/branches
make go.sum
make install
make go.sum
make build-win
use cmd prompt to open the fxcored.exe file
in the path ./build/bin/fxcored.exe
That will install the fxcored
binary. Verify version:
fxcored version
fxcored version --long
fxcored version --long
should output something similar to:
