Install EVMOS on MacOS

Install Go if you don't have it. Here's a quick guide.

Download the evmos binary:

Note depending on the release/version you'll need to update the version number and path of the tar file in the commands below. The version for this gist is v1.0.0-beta1/evmos_1.0.0-beta1_Darwin_arm64.tar.gz.

cd ~/Downloads/
wget https://github.com/tharsis/evmos/releases/download/v1.0.0-beta1/evmos_1.0.0-beta1_Darwin_arm64.tar.gz

Unpack it:

 gunzip -c evmos_1.0.0-beta1_Darwin_arm64.tar.gz | tar opfx -

Confirm that you have unpacked the binary by running:

./bin/evmosd version

Now, let's add it to a path. I have a .local file in my root directory where I have other releases like solana.

mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/evmos/install/active_release/bin/
mv ./bin/evmosd $HOME/.local/share/evmos/install/active_release/bin/

Now, update your path:

Note: you'll need to add this line to your .bash_profile if you're using the default MacOS shell or .zprofile if you are using Zsh in order for the PATH to persist among shell instances.

export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/evmos/install/active_release/bin:$PATH"

Now, confirm the path of the evmosd binary is in the proper path:

which evmosd

Check the version:

evmosd version

You're done.
