Install make and gcc.

On Ubuntu this can be done with the following commands:

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y make gcc

sudo apt-get install -y make gcc may have encountered a problem with locked files, just try sudo apt-get install -y make gcc again.

Mac

All other environments

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 using sudo su to resolve it.

If you are remoting into a terminal

Go 1.18+ or later is required for the PundiX. 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 PundiX. Make sure you have git installed if not you will be prompted to install git. Follow the instruction in the terminal.
