An Ethereum validator installation wizard meant to guide anyone through the different steps to become a fully functional validator on the Ethereum network. It will install and configure all the software needed to become a validator. It will test your installation. It will help you avoid the common pitfalls.

This project is part of the larger StakeHouse community.

The eth-wizard should be stable enough to be used by everyone. It was never audited and it might still have some issues. Support is offered through the ETHStaker community.

• Simple to use
• Minimal
• Mostly automated
• For Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 using Lighthouse and Geth
• For Windows 10 using Teku and Geth
• No prerequisite needed
• Internally simple to read, understand and modify
• Interruptible and resumable
• Launched using a simple command line that bootstraps everything
• Self-updating to the latest version on launch

You can use something like this in a terminal, to start the wizard:

wget https://github.com/stake-house/eth-wizard/releases/download/v0.9.0/ethwizard-0.9.0.pyz && sudo python3 ethwizard-0.9.0.pyz

Please note that some antivirus software might detect the wizard binary as a threat and delete it or prevent its execution.

Download and run the wizard binary

As an alternative, you can download and install a recent version of Python (make sure to select the option for file associations which is included in the default Install Now option), download the latest pyz bundle and double-click on it. This alternative is less likely to trigger your antivirus software.

Here is a demonstration of eth-wizard on Ubuntu 20.04:
