Go Ethereum Client

Run Ethereum protocol software on Linux with Go Ethereum Client, a Go implementation that lets users work directly with Ethereum’s protocol. Published by the Ethereum Foundation, it serves individuals and organizations that need an Ethereum protocol implementation on a Linux system.

The package exposes the Geth component through the go-eth.geth command, providing a named entry point for using that part of the client. The go-eth.clef init command initializes Clef, while go-eth.evm provides access to the Ethereum virtual machine component. These separate commands let users work with specific parts of the implementation from a Linux environment.

The current version is master, and the software targets x86_64 systems, also known as amd64, running Linux with snapd. It is open-source software licensed under the GNU LGPL v3, whose terms cover using, studying, and sharing the code. Developers, system operators, and organizations can use it when their work calls for Ethereum protocol functionality and its associated Geth, Clef, or EVM components.
