Install on Ubuntu or Debian Linux

This page describes the recommended instructions for installing the latest stable version of rippled on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 or higher or Debian 9 or higher, using the apt utility.

These instructions install a binary that has been compiled by Ripple.

Prerequisites

Before you install rippled, you must meet the System Requirements.

Installation Steps

1. Update repositories:

    $ sudo apt -y update
   

2. Install utilities:

    $ sudo apt -y install apt-transport-https ca-certificates wget gnupg
   

3. Add Ripple's package-signing GPG key to your list of trusted keys:

    $ wget -q -O - "https://repos.ripple.com/repos/api/gpg/key/public" | \
      sudo apt-key add -
   

4. Check the fingerprint of the newly-added key:

    $ apt-key finger
   

   The output should include an entry for Ripple such as the following:

    pub   rsa3072 2019-02-14 [SC] [expires: 2026-02-17]
          C001 0EC2 05B3 5A33 10DC 90DE 395F 97FF CCAF D9A2
    uid           [ unknown] TechOps Team at Ripple <techops+rippled@ripple.com>
    sub   rsa3072 2019-02-14 [E] [expires: 2026-02-17]
   

   In particular, make sure that the fingerprint matches. (In the above example, the fingerprint is on the second line, starting with C001.)

5. Add the appropriate Ripple repository for your operating system version:

    $ echo "deb https://repos.ripple.com/repos/rippled-deb focal stable" | \
        sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ripple.list
   

   The above example is appropriate for Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa. For other operating systems, replace the word focal with one of the following:

   • bionic for Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver
   • xenial for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus
   • stretch for Debian 9 Stretch
   • buster for Debian 10 Buster

   If you want access to development or pre-release versions of rippled, use one of the following instead of stable:

   • unstable - Pre-release builds (release branch)
   • nightly - Experimental/development builds (develop branch)

   Warning: Unstable and nightly builds may be broken at any time. Do not use these builds for production servers.

6. Fetch the Ripple repository.

    $ sudo apt -y update
   

7. Install the rippled software package:

    $ sudo apt -y install rippled
   

8. Check the status of the rippled service:

    $ systemctl status rippled.service
   

   The rippled service should start automatically. If not, you can start it manually:

    $ sudo systemctl start rippled.service
   

   To configure it to start automatically on boot:

    $ sudo systemctl enable rippled.service
   

9. Optional: allow rippled to bind to privileged ports (e.g.: run http/https/ws/wss on port 80, 443, etc.)

    $ sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /opt/ripple/bin/rippled
