Install linea-sequencer
If you want to run a Linea node and use it to interact with the blockchain, rather than running a
'follower' node that simply keeps a local copy of the chain, then you will need to install the
linea-sequencer
plugin to ensure full functionality.
Specifically, the Linea-specific API methods documented in our reference section
will not work properly unless you install and configure linea-sequencer
.
Instructions​
-
Go to the
linea-sequencer
repo releases page and download the.jar
file for the latest release. -
In the local Besu runtime directory (where you will run Besu from), create a directory called
plugins
and place the.jar
file there. -
In the
config-mainnet.toml
file, addLINEA
to the list of RPC methods:rpc-http-api=["ADMIN","NET","ETH","WEB3","TXPOOL","LINEA"]
When you run Besu, you will see the linea-sequencer
plugin registered during startup.
