Installing and Upgrading Golem

These API releases are requestor-focused only, if you’re a provider you there is no need to do any changes. If you're a requestor, you don't need to update Yagna. The only update is for the Python API. We will include the installation command for both requestors and providers for anyone getting started!

Requestor:

curl -sSf https://join.golem.network/as-requestor | bash -

Provider:

curl -sSf https://join.golem.network/as-provider | bash -

As security advice for both requestors and providers, you should be backing up your keys if you have mainnet tokens. You can back up your keys to your wallet with the export command (while Golem is running):

yagna id export --file-path=./key.json

If you’re just getting started with Golem for the first time, you want to go to the handbook. It includes the installation steps as a Provider or Requestor (video walk-through), along with explanations and important details such as Command-Line Interface (CLI).
