IPFS is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer filesystem. It combines good ideas from Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the Web. It is like a single bittorrent swarm, exchanging git objects. IPFS provides an interface as simple as the HTTP web, but with permanence built in. You can also mount the world at /ipfs.
The IPFS protocol and its implementations are still in heavy development. This means that there may be problems in our protocols, or there may be mistakes in our implementations. And -- though IPFS is not production-ready yet -- many people are already running nodes in their machines. So we take security vulnerabilities very seriously. If you discover a security issue, please bring it to our attention right away!
If the issue is a protocol weakness that cannot be immediately exploited or something not yet deployed, just discuss it openly.
Install
The canonical download instructions for IPFS are over at: https://docs.ipfs.io/introduction/install/. It is highly suggested you follow those instructions if you are not interested in working on IPFS development.
System Requirements
IPFS can run on most Linux, macOS, and Windows systems. We recommend running it on a machine with at least 2 GB of RAM (it’ll do fine with only one CPU core), but it should run fine with as little as 1 GB of RAM. On systems with less memory, it may not be completely stable.
The build process for ipfs requires Go 1.11 or higher. If you don't have it: Download Go 1.11+.
You'll need to add Go's bin directories to your $PATH environment variable e.g., by adding these lines to your /etc/profile (for a system-wide installation) or $HOME/.profile:
$ go get -u -d github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs
$ make install
If you are building on FreeBSD instead of make install use gmake install.
Building on less common systems
If your operating system isn't officially supported, but you still want to try
building ipfs anyways (it should work fine in most cases), you can do the
following instead of make install:
$ make install_unsupported
Note: This process may break if gx
(used for dependency management) or any of its dependencies break as go get
will always select the latest code for every dependency, often resulting in
mismatched APIs.
git is required in order for go get to fetch all dependencies.
Package managers often contain out-of-date golang packages.
Ensure that go version reports at least 1.10. See above for how to install go.
If you are interested in development, please install the development
dependencies as well.
WARNING: Older versions of OSX FUSE (for Mac OS X) can cause kernel panics when mounting!-
We strongly recommend you use the latest version of OSX FUSE.
(See ipfs/go-ipfs#177)
For more details on setting up FUSE (so that you can mount the filesystem), see the docs folder.
Shell command completion is available in misc/completion/ipfs-completion.bash. Read docs/command-completion.md to learn how to install it.
See the init examples for how to connect IPFS to systemd or whatever init system your distro uses.
Updating go-ipfs
Using ipfs-update
IPFS has an updating tool that can be accessed through ipfs update. The tool is
not installed alongside IPFS in order to keep that logic independent of the main
codebase. To install ipfs update, download it here.
Downloading IPFS builds using IPFS
List the available versions of go-ipfs:
$ ipfs cat /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/versions
Then, to view available builds for a version from the previous command ($VERSION):
$ ipfs ls /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION
To download a given build of a version:
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_darwin-386.tar.gz # darwin 32-bit build
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_darwin-amd64.tar.gz # darwin 64-bit build
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_freebsd-amd64.tar.gz # freebsd 64-bit build
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_linux-386.tar.gz # linux 32-bit build
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_linux-amd64.tar.gz # linux 64-bit build
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_linux-arm.tar.gz # linux arm build
$ ipfs get /ipns/dist.ipfs.io/go-ipfs/$VERSION/go-ipfs_$VERSION_windows-amd64.zip # windows 64-bit build
Usage

Use 'ipfs <command> --help' to learn more about each command.
ipfs uses a repository in the local file system. By default, the repo is located
at ~/.ipfs. To change the repo location, set the $IPFS_PATH environment variable:
export IPFS_PATH=/path/to/ipfsrepo
To start using IPFS, you must first initialize IPFS's config files on your
system, this is done with ipfs init. See ipfs init --help for information on
the optional arguments it takes. After initialization is complete, you can use
ipfs mount, ipfs add and any of the other commands to explore!
Some things to try
Basic proof of 'ipfs working' locally:
echo "hello world" > hello
ipfs add hello
# This should output a hash string that looks something like:
# QmT78zSuBmuS4z925WZfrqQ1qHaJ56DQaTfyMUF7F8ff5o
ipfs cat <that hash>
Docker usage
An IPFS docker image is hosted at hub.docker.com/r/ipfs/go-ipfs.
To make files visible inside the container you need to mount a host directory
with the -v option to docker. Choose a directory that you want to use to
import/export files from IPFS. You should also choose a directory to store
IPFS files that will persist when you restart the container.
When starting a container running ipfs for the first time with an empty data directory, it will call ipfs init to initialize configuration files and generate a new keypair. At this time, you can choose which profile to apply using the IPFS_PROFILE environment variable:
If you have previously installed IPFS before and you are running into problems getting a newer version to work, try deleting (or backing up somewhere else) your IPFS config directory (~/.ipfs by default) and rerunning ipfs init. This will reinitialize the config file to its defaults and clear out the local datastore of any bad entries.
