Installing SOMA

Soma is purpose built for training a single foundation model across the internet. In contrast to other networks, there are no smart contracts, no subnets.

Soma has a singular focus, and dedicates the network to that end.

Supported Operating Systems

• Linux: Ubuntu version 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) or newer
• macOS: macOS Monterey or newer
• Microsoft Windows: Windows 10 or 11

Quick Install

The SOMA CLI is used to interact with the SOMA network, deploy models, and submit data. To install the SOMA CLI, the easiest way is to use sup. This is SOMA’s version of rustup, it allows you to easily install and switch between different versions of SOMA.

1. First, install sup:

   Script

   curl -sSfL https://sup.soma.org | sh

   Cargo

   cargo install --git https://github.com/soma-org/sup.git --locked

2. Then, install SOMA:

   sup install soma

For more sup commands, refer to the repository.

Confirm Installation Worked

1. Open a terminal or console
2. Type soma --version and press enter

If you receive a “command not found” error, verify the SOMA binaries directory is in your PATH environment variable.

Next, set up your account to create a wallet and connect to a network.
