Where to get Hydra from?

Using Docker

The quickest way to get a hydra-node running is to use our Docker images:

docker pull ghcr.io/input-output-hk/hydra-node
docker run --rm ghcr.io/input-output-hk/hydra-node --help

Using prebuilt static binaries

We provide builds for hydra-node and hydra-tui as statically linked x86_64-linux binaries. These binaries can be found in our CI or attached to github releases starting with version 0.8.1.

Building from source

While using docker is the recommended way to use Hydra, you can also build the hydra-node from source. We do recommend using nix for this though and the instructions can be found in our Contributing Guidelines.
