When downloading the DeNet Node Binary Build, it's important to select the version that matches your computer's processor architecture:
- x86_64 (also called AMD64): This is the most common architecture for Intel and AMD processors used in most desktops and laptops
- ARM64 (also called AArch64): This is used by Apple Silicon (M1, M2, etc.) Macs and some ARM-based Linux devices
To determine your system architecture:
On MacOS:
- Click the Apple menu and select "About This Mac"
- Click "More info..."
- Look for "Chip" or "Processor" - if it says "Apple M1", "Apple M2", etc., you have ARM64; otherwise, you have x86_64
On Linux:
- Open a terminal and run:
uname -m - If it shows
x86_64, you have x86_64 architecture - If it shows
aarch64, you have ARM64 architecture
-
DEB packages (ending in
.deb) are used for Debian, Ubuntu, and other Debian-based Linux distributions- Install with:
