Setting Up

Install Dependencies

Install Go (v1.22)

The rollup daemon is built using Go, a performant, easy-to-learn, and expressive programming language that is widely used in distributed systems.

To install Go, follow the instructions on the Go website.

To verify your installation, run the following command in your terminal

go version

Install Docker

All components of the rollup stack offers 2 deployment methods; building and running from source and through the provided Docker image.

For those looking to use Docker, following the instructions to install from the Docker website.

To verify that Docker is installed, run the following command in your terminal:

docker version

Download Rollup Binary

Once we have successfully installed the core dependencies, we can download the rollup binary.

• Shell
• Docker

First, specify the rollup VM and version you want to use:

export VM=[vm-type] # one of "move", "wasm", or "evm"
export MINITIA_VERSION="0.2.16" # replace with other version as necessary

Next, clone the corresponding rollup Git repository:

git clone https://github.com/initia-labs/mini$VM.git

Once the clone is complete, navigate to the appropriate directory (minimove, miniwasm, or minievm) and check out the rollup version specified above. Finally, build the rollup CLI.

cd mini$VM
git checkout v$MINITIA_VERSION
make install

Verify the installation of the rollup image. If the process was completed successfully, the version number should match $MINITIA_VERSION:

minitiad version

Starting the Rollup

Once the minitiad CLI is functional, the following steps depends on how you want to run or test your rollup

1. Standalone rollup (Testnet/Local Only): A minimal, streamlined setup ideal for testing rollup functionality and deploying or integrating with it. It does not include IBC or OPinit bridges. See Deploying a Standalone Rollup

2. Run with IBC and OPinit Bots: The full rollup setup with all of the components when you want to connect to other rollups or Initia L1. See Rollup Full Deployment
