Step 1: Select your execution client.
Run the following to automatically download the latest linux release, un-zip and cleanup.
Copy RELEASE_URL = "https://api.github.com/repos/NethermindEth/nethermind/releases/latest"
BINARIES_URL = "$( curl -s $RELEASE_URL | jq -r ".assets[] | select(.name) | .browser_download_url" | grep linux-x64 )"
echo Downloading URL: $BINARIES_URL
cd $HOME
wget -O nethermind.zip $BINARIES_URL
unzip -o nethermind.zip -d $HOME /nethermind
rm nethermind.zip Stop the services.
Copy sudo systemctl stop execution Remove old binaries, install new binaries and restart the services.
Copy sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/nethermind
sudo mv $HOME /nethermind /usr/local/bin/nethermind

BINARIES_URL = "$( curl -s $RELEASE_URL | grep -Eo $FILE)"
echo Downloading URL: $BINARIES_URL
cd $HOME
wget -O besu.tar.gz $BINARIES_URL
tar -xzvf besu.tar.gz -C $HOME
rm besu.tar.gz
