The simplest way to install is by using homebrew. If you do not have homebrew, you can install homebrew using:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Install akash daemon using homebrew:
brew tap ovrclk/tap
brew install akash-edge
brew link akash-edge --force
Once installed, verify the installation by running akash version. Compare that with the version for the network you plan on connecting to:
curl -s "$AKASH_NET/version.txt"{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Linux" %}
Download the archive for your system from the release page, extract it, and install the akash binary into your path.
Alternatively, install the latest version via godownloader with:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovrclk/akash/master/godownloader.sh | sh -s -- "$AKASH_VERSION"The final step is to make sure that the akash binaries are available in your shell PATH.This page contains instructions for setting the PATH on Linux.

Installing Akash suite from source
$ go get -d github.com/ovrclk/akash
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ovrclk/akash
$ git checkout "$AKASH_VERSION"
$ make deps-install
$ make install
Akash is developed and tested with golang 1.15+. Building requires a working golang installation, a properly set GOPATH, and $GOPATH/bin present in $PATH.
Once you have the dependencies properly setup, download and build akash using make install
