Introduction

In this section, we cover how to install Mycelium. For this guide, we will show the steps on a full VM running on the TFGrid.

Currently, Linux, macOS and Windows are supported. On Windows, you must have wintun.dll in the same directory you are executing the binary from.

Full VM Example

• Deploy a Full VM with Planetary network and SSH into the VM
• Update the system

  apt update
  

• Download the latest Mycelium release: https://github.com/threefoldtech/mycelium/releases/latest

  wget https://github.com/threefoldtech/mycelium/releases/download/v0.4.0/mycelium-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
  

• Extract Mycelium

  tar -xvf mycelium-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
  

• Move Mycelium to your path

  mv mycelium /usr/local/bin
  

• Start Mycelium

  mycelium --peers tcp://83.231.240.31:9651 quic://185.206.122.71:9651 --tun-name utun2
  

• Open another terminal
• Check the Mycelium connection information (address: ...)

  mycelium inspect --json
  

• Ping the VM from another machine with IPv6

  ping6 mycelium_address
