## Node Client&#x20;

The KCC node client is based on Go Ethereum (aka, Geth).  To run a KCC node, you only need to install a single binary.   You can either build the binary from the source or download it from our GitHub release page.  Besides, you can also use an automatically built docker image.

## Option 1: Build From The Source&#x20;

Prerequisites:

* [Install Golang](https://go.dev/doc/install) 1.13 or later&#x20;
* Install "make" and a C compiler
  * For Ubuntu users,  you can install "build-essential".&#x20;
  * For CentOS users, you can install the "Development Tools" group
* git&#x20;

First, clone the KCC node client repository:&#x20;

```shell
git clone --depth 1 -b kcc \
    --single-branch https://github.com/kcc-community/kcc.git
```

Then, "make":&#x20;

```shell
cd kcc/ && make 
```

If everything works well, you will find the resulting binary at:&#x20;

```shell
build/bin/geth
```

## Option 2:  Download The Binary From GitHub Release Page

Go to the [GitHub Release Page](https://github.com/kcc-community/kcc/releases) of  the KCC client node repository, and the latest binary can be found in the assets section under the latest release notes:&#x20;

## Option 3:  Use Docker&#x20;

> If you want to know more about docker, please go to [the docker official docs](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/).&#x20;

You can find the automatically built docker images from KCC[ official docker hub repository](https://hub.docker.com/r/kucoincommunitychain/kcc/tags).  Clone the latest docker image by running the following commands:&#x20;

```bash
docker pull kucoincommunitychain/kcc:latest 
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kcc.io/developers/run-a-node/install-kcc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
