Installing the SDK¶
1. Installing the Dependencies¶
The Daml SDK currently runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
You need to install:
JDK 8 or greater. If you don’t already have a JDK installed, try Eclipse Adoptium.
As part of the installation process you may need to set up the
JAVA_HOME
variable. You can find instructions for this process on Windows,macOS, and Linux here.
2. Installing the SDK¶
Windows 10¶
Download and run the installer, which will install Daml and set up the PATH variable for you.
Mac and Linux¶
Open a terminal and run:
curl -sSL https://get.daml.com/ | sh
The installer will setup the PATH
variable for you. In order for it to take effect, you will have to
log out and log in again.
- If the
daml
command is not available in your terminal after logging out and logging in again, you need to set thePATH
environment variable - manually. You can find instructions on how to do this here.
Installing Daml Enterprise¶
If you have a license for Daml Enterprise, you can install it as follows:
- On Windows, download the installer from Artifactory instead of Github releases.
- On Linux and MacOS, download the corresponding tarball,
extract it and run
./install.sh
. Afterwards, modify the global daml-config.yaml and add an entry with your Artifactory API key. The API key can be found in your Artifactory user profile.
artifactory-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY
This will be used by the assistant to download other versions automatically from artifactory.
If you already have an existing installation, you only need to add
this entry to daml-config.yaml
. To overwrite a previously
installed version with the corresponding Daml Enterprise version, use
daml install --force VERSION
.
