An Ethereum validator installation wizard meant to guide anyone through the different steps to become a fully functional validator on the Ethereum network. It will install and configure all the software needed to become a validator. It will test your installation. It will help you avoid the common pitfalls. It will help you maintain and keep your setup updated.
Eth-wizard should be stable enough to be used by everyone. It was never audited and it might still have some issues. Support is offered through the EthStaker community.
- Simple to use
- Mostly automated
- For Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04
- For Windows 10 or 11
- No prerequisite needed
- Internally simple to read, understand and modify
- Interruptible and resumable
- Launched using a simple command line that bootstraps everything
- Self-updating to the latest version on launch
You can use something like this in a terminal, to start the wizard:
wget https://github.com/stake-house/eth-wizard/releases/download/v0.9.10/ethwizard-0.9.10.pyz && sudo python3 ethwizard-0.9.10.pyz
Please note that some antivirus software might detect the wizard binary as a threat and delete it or prevent its execution.
Download and run the ethwizard-0.9.10.exe binary
As an alternative, you can download and install a recent version of Python, make sure to install py launcher (it should be part of the default options), download the ethwizard-0.9.10-win.pyz bundle and double-click on it. This alternative is less likely to trigger your antivirus software.
Simply run eth-wizard again after a successful installation to perform maintenance. In maintenance mode, eth-wizard can check for updates and install them as needed.
