Build from source

Note: On Windows, to run gradlew, you must have the JAVA_HOME system variable set to the Java installation directory. For example: JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_181

Build the distribution binaries: 

cd besu

./gradlew installDist


Run Besu:

cd build\install\besu
./bin/besu --help



Running Developer Builds

Build and run Besu with default options using:

./gradlew installDist

By default this stores all persistent data in build/install/besu.

To set custom CLI arguments for the Besu execution:

cd build/install/besu

./bin/besu --discovery-enabled=false --data-path=/tmp/besutmp
