Prerequisites

This guide walks you through setting up a PDP-enabled Filecoin Storage Provider using Lotus, YugabyteDB, and Curio

This guide is written specifically for Ubuntu 22.04. If you are using a different Linux distribution, refer to the relevant documentation for package installation and compatibility.

Before starting, make sure you have a user with sudo privileges. This section prepares your system for the PDP stack.

System Package Installation

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt install -y \
mesa-opencl-icd ocl-icd-opencl-dev gcc git jq pkg-config curl clang \
build-essential hwloc libhwloc-dev libarchive-dev wget ntp python-is-python3 aria2

Install Go

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.23.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.23.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
go version

You should see something like: go version go1.23.7 linux/amd64

---

Install Rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

When prompted, choose the option 1) Proceed with standard installation (default — just press Enter).

source $HOME/.cargo/env
rustc --version

You should see something like: rustc 1.86.0 (05f9846f8 2025-03-31)

Add Go and Rust to Secure Sudo Path

sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/dev-paths <<EOF
Defaults secure_path="/usr/local/go/bin:$HOME/.cargo/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
EOF
