Availup

To run an Avail light client, simply run the following command:

curl -sL1 avail.sh | sh

or, with wget:

wget --https-only --secure-protocol=TLSv1_2 --quiet -O - avail.sh | sh

You can pass additional flags to the script like:

curl -sL1 avail.sh | sh -s -- --network goldberg

Currently available flags are:

• network: can be one of the following: [kate, goldberg, local]
• config: path to the configuration file, availup will generate a config if this flag is not specified
• app_id: application ID to run the light client (defaults to 0)

Flags are defined once for each network in the config file. If a default configuration already exists, the flags are ignored unless the configuration for that network does not exist.

You can modify the existing default config by running and rerun availup to use the new config:

nano ~/.avail/goldberg/config.yml
# and rerunning the script:
curl -sL1 avail.sh | sh

Alternatively, you can delete the existing config and generate a new config with availup:

rm ~/.avail/goldberg/config.yml
# and rerunning the script with flags:
curl -sL1 avail.sh | sh -s -- --app_id 1

To upgrade the light client to a latest version, you need to delete the binary:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/avail-light
# in some cases, the config can be persisted, if older config is incompatible, then delete it first:
rm ~/.avail/goldberg/config.yml
# then, rerun the script:
curl -sL1 avail.sh | sh
