Install JMESd for Mac (Intel or M1)

JMESd is the command-line interface and daemon that connects to JMES and enables you to interact with the JMES blockchain. JMES Core is the official Golang reference implementation of the JMES node software.

This guide is for developers who want to install JMESd and interact with JMES Core without running a full node. If you want to run a full node or join a network, use the documentation on how to run a full JMES node.

  1. Navigate to https://github.com/jmesworld/core/tags and click on the latest release.

  2. Download the jmes_<latest-version-here>_Darwin_x86_64.tar.gz file.

  3. Unzip the file in the downloads folder by double clicking on it.
