Install

Multiple Versions Available

We offer several versions of our releases to accommodate different CPU architectures:

  • Skylake: Optimized for Intel Skylake and newer CPUs, as well as AMD Ryzen processors. Ideal for PCs manufactured from 2015 onward.
  • Legacy (x86-64-v2): Designed for Intel Broadwell, Haswell, and older CPUs, along with their AMD counterparts. Suitable for systems built between 2009 and 2015 and for virtual environments that do not support Skylake instructions. For the latest binaries and source code, please visit the Releases section on our GitHub.

Get Started with Advanced CLI Installation​

note

Please note that a wallet with a Substrate address is required to run the software.
To learn how to create a Substrate wallet, please visit our pages on SubWallet (recommended) or Polkadot.js.

We will download two files for your respective operating system.

  1. Subspace-Node - This is the executable that actually makes the connection with the Autonomys Network
  2. Subspace-Farmer - This is the executable that will actually farm for rewards on your allocated storage plots.

Windows Specific Warnings:​

Windows No Output Bug

If you face an error where the node outputs nothing and no error code is given it is likely you just need to install the latest Visual C++ Redistributable package here

Step 1: Download the Advanced CLI Executables​

Step 2: Start Advanced CLI Node​

danger

A Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of this app warning may appear. This is because the application is trying to access the internet. This is expected as it is how the farmer talks to other farmers on the network, select Allow access to continue setup.

  1. Open Powershell (we do not recommend using Command Prompt as its syntax is slightly different)
  2. In the terminal we will change to the Downloads directory using this command cd Downloads
  3. We will then start the node using the following command:
# Replace `INSERT_YOUR_ID` with a nickname you choose
# Copy all of the lines below, they are all part of the same command
.\subspace-node-windows-x86_64-skylake-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03.exe `
  run `
  --chain gemini-3h `
  --base-path NODE_DATA_PATH `
  --farmer `
  --name "INSERT_YOUR_ID"
note

Using run, setting --base-path and specifying --chain became mandatory starting with Gemini 3h. The parameter --validator was switched to --farmer at the same time.

note

As of the Jun 11, 2024 version a new option is available for fast syncing called Snap Sync. It will only work for the initial sync, but many people report that they are fully synced within hours, not days. The parameter is --sync snap.

  1. You should see something similar in the terminal:

Step 3: Start Advanced CLI Farmer​

  1. We will then open another terminal, change to the downloads directory as we did before, then start the farmer node with the following command:
  # Replace `PATH_TO_FARM` with location where you want you store plot files
  # Replace `WALLET_ADDRESS` below with your account address from Polkadot.js wallet
  # Replace `PLOT_SIZE` with plot size in gigabytes or terabytes, for example 100G or 2T (but leave at least 60G of disk space for node and some for OS)
  .\subspace-farmer-windows-x86_64-skylake-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03.exe farm --reward-address WALLET_ADDRESS path=PATH_TO_FARM,size=PLOT_SIZE

  1. You are now farming! Just wait for your node to fully sync, and for your farmer to fully plot.
