# Simple Installations
# Smart Chain Installation
To install the Komodo daemon, komodod
, and its necessary counterpart, komodo-cli
, the simplest method is to download pre-compiled binaries.
Downloadable packages are available for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
# Link to Download Software
Download and unzip the software files for your operating system.. (opens new window)
# Installing the Simple Downloadable Files
Once unzipped, the executables do not require installation. Simply find komodod
and komodo-cli
in the directory where you unzipped the files.
You may also build komodod
and komodo-cli
from source. This is not required, but it is considered the best practice. Building from source enables you to receive the latest patches and security upgrades the moment they are pushed to the komodod
source.
