We are going to clone, build and run Ethermint locally to develop on top of that codebase.

You need GoLang 1.18+ to build the binary, you can install it using the install go guide.

Clone the repository, i’m cloning using ssh but if you prefer, you can clone it using the github-cli or just https.

Just go to the folder and run the make command

Note: the make install command will put the binary in the $GOPATH folder, running with make build, will place the binary in the ./build folder.

Try the binary to check if everything is ok
