title: Installation instructions for Ubuntu
---
## Installing from PPA
```shell
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ethereum
```
If you want to stay on the bleeding edge, install the `ethereum-unstable` package instead.
After installing, run `geth account new` to create an account on your node.
You should now be able to run `geth` and connect to the network.
Make sure to check the different options and commands with `geth --help`
You can alternatively install only the `geth` CLI with `apt-get install geth` if you don't want to install the other utilities (`bootnode`, `evm`, `disasm`, `rlpdump`, `ethtest`).
## Building from source
### Building Geth (command line client)
Clone the repository to a directory of your choosing:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
```
Install latest distribution of Go (v1.7) if you don't have it already:
[See instructions](Installing-Go#ubuntu-1404)
Building `geth` requires Go and C compilers to be installed:
```shell
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential golang
```
Finally, build the `geth` program using the following command.
```shell
cd go-ethereum
make geth
```
You can now run `build/bin/geth` to start your node.
