Install linea-sequencer
If you want to run a Linea node and use it to interact with the blockchain, rather than running a
'follower' node that simply keeps a local copy of the chain, then you will need to install the
linea-sequencer
plugin to ensure full functionality. This plugin only works with Besu.
Specifically, the Linea-specific API methods documented in our reference section
will not work unless you install and configure linea-sequencer
.
Steps​
-
From the
linea-sequencer
releases page, download the.jar
file for the latest release. -
In the local Besu runtime directory (where you will run Besu from), create a directory called
plugins
and place the.jar
file there. -
In the Besu configuration file (called
config-mainnet.toml
if you downloaded the file from our instructions) file, addLINEA
to the list of RPC methods:rpc-http-api=["ADMIN","NET","ETH","WEB3","TXPOOL","LINEA"]
Alternatively, you can add
LINEA
to this list in the command line by running:--rpc-http-api=ADMIN,NET,ETH,WEB3,TXPOOL,LINEA
When you run Besu, you will see the linea-sequencer
plugin registered during startup.
