Build from source
caution
If you want to use the latest development version of Teku or a specific commit, build from source. Otherwise, use the binary or Docker image for more stable versions.
Prerequisites
caution
Teku requires Java 25+; earlier versions are not supported.
Installation on Linux / Unix / MacOS X
Clone the Teku repository
Clone the Consensys/teku repository:
git clone https://github.com/Consensys/teku.git
Build Teku
After cloning, go to the teku directory.
Build Teku with the Gradle wrapper gradlew, as follows:
./gradlew distTar installDist
note
The command produces an expanded distribution, ready to run in build/install/teku, and a .tar distribution in build/distribution.
Go to the teku directory:
cd build/install/teku
Display the Teku help to confirm installation:
bin/teku --help
tip
To view the list of available Gradle tasks, run ./gradlew tasks
Continue with Starting Teku.
