How to Install Iguana on Manjaro

Iguana is a full node client for the Komodo Platform, a blockchain ecosystem that allows for cross-chain interoperability, privacy, and security. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Iguana on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A Linux-based operating system (we will be using Manjaro for this tutorial)
• Git installed on your system
• Basic knowledge of the command line interface (CLI)

Steps

1. Open a terminal window on your Manjaro system.

2. Clone the Iguana repository from the official GitHub repository using the following command in the terminal:

   git clone https://github.com/iguana-project/iguana.git
   

3. Navigate to the directory where Iguana was cloned by running the following command:

   cd iguana
   

4. Compile Iguana by running the following command:

   make
   

5. Once the compilation is complete, you will have a file named komodod in your iguana/src directory. This file is the full node client for the Komodo Platform.

   cd src
   

6. Start Iguana by running the following command:

   ./komodod
   

   This will begin syncing with the Komodo network. Depending on the speed of your internet connection and the state of the network, this may take some time.

7. Optionally, you can add komodod to your system's PATH environment variable by running the following command:

   export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)
   

   This will allow you to start komodod from any directory in the terminal.

Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Iguana on Manjaro! You can now use Iguana to interact with the Komodo Platform, and participate in its ecosystem of blockchain applications.
