Building from Source

Clone and build

git clone https://github.com/omnelabs/omne-blockchain.git
cd omne-blockchain
cargo build --release

The binary lands at target/release/omne-node. Optionally copy it to your PATH:

cp target/release/omne-node ~/.local/bin/

omne-node --version

brew install pkg-config openssl cmake

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config libssl-dev clang cmake build-essential

sudo dnf install pkg-config openssl-devel clang cmake gcc

The project pins nightly-2026-02-10 to avoid internal compiler errors with newer nightlies:

rustup toolchain install nightly-2026-02-10
rustup default nightly-2026-02-10

Flag	Effect
`--release`	Optimised build (required for production)
`--bin omne-node`	Build only the node binary (faster than building all targets)

For development iteration:

cargo build --bin omne-node
# Debug build — faster to compile, slower to run

cargo test -p omne-blockchain

This runs the full test suite (~500+ tests). For a focused subset:

cargo test -p omne-blockchain -- --test-threads=1 test_name_pattern
