Build the Xion Daemon

How to build the xiond binary

If you want to build the xiond binary yourself, this section will show you how.
​⚠
 Development environment
The Xion Daemon is written using the Go programming language.
This guide assumes you have a pre-existing installation on your workstation. 
Adequate installation and configuration of your environment is out of scope. Please refer to the appropriate documentation for assistance.
​⚠
 Go Versions
We use Go version 1.19 internally at Burnt.
If you are building the binary yourself, please make sure you are using Go 1.19, as we have observed consensus-breaking behavior on nodes that are not running the same version as the majority of the network.
A specific symptom of this would be an AppHash mismatch.
Fetch the Source Code
Use git to retrieve the Xion repository, whose default branch contains the latest and greatest code.
$ git clone https://github.com/burnt-labs/xion.git
If you want a specific stable version, refer to the Releases page.
$ git clone https://github.com/burnt-labs/xion.git -b vX.Y.Z
Build the Binary
We provide a Makefile with several targets common to projects in the Cosmos ecosystem.
$ make install
Verify that the Binary was installed
Assuming everything went well, the binary is now available in your $PATH
$ xiond version
$ xiond version --long
$ xiond --help
