Installing Entropy Money

Prebuilt binaries

Download the archive for your platform from the releases page, unpack it and put the entropy binary somewhere on your PATH.

# example: Linux x86-64
tar -xzf entropy_1.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
sudo install entropy /usr/local/bin/
entropy version

Released archives are accompanied by checksums.txt so you can verify integrity.

With Go

Requires Go 1.18 or newer.

go install github.com/yzoz/entropy/cmd/entropy@v1.0.0

This installs the binary into $(go env GOPATH)/bin.

From source

git clone https://github.com/yzoz/entropy
cd entropy
make build          # produces ./bin/entropy with version metadata
# or run without building:
make run ARGS="balance"

Verifying a release build

Every release binary reports its embedded version so you can confirm what you installed:

entropy version
entropy version --json
