If you have a system architecture other than x86_64 Linux you will need to [grab the source code](https://github.com/althea-net/althea-l1) and build your own binary. But the vast majority of users should be able to download the release below.

**_NOTE:_** `v1.4.0` does not sync past block 271, so use v1.3.0 if starting from genesis with a new validator.

```bash
wget https://github.com/AltheaFoundation/althea-L1/releases/download/v1.4.0/althea-linux-amd64
wget https://github.com/AltheaFoundation/althea-L1/releases/download/v1.3.0/althea-linux-amd64

sudo mv althea-linux-amd64 /usr/sbin/althea

```bash
althea init mymoniker --chain-id althea_417834-4
