Many of you must have heard about Avalanche!

A blockchain 3.0 project delivered to you by Avalabs.

Because Avalance is amazingly lightweight, you don’t need a beefy server to set it all up.

2 GHz or faster CPU, 3 GB RAM, 250 MB hard disk.

OS: Ubuntu >= 18.04

Use the method above if you just want to deploy no nonsense.

Use the method below for a bit of learning experience.

Once you deployed your server its always smart to update and upgrade the base installation.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

After this completed you might want to restart your server. Once it restarted we are going to install GO

wget https://dl.google.com/go/go1.14.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.14.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz

After we’ve done this we are going to edit our ~/.profile file

nano ~/.profile

At the bottom of this file add the following data

Change “username” for your linux username

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

export GOPATH=/home/"USERNAME"/go

After we save and exit we want the system to load this setting.

You can do this by using the following command

source ~/.profile

Now we are going to check if we installed go correctly.

go version

You should get the following reply
