# Quick start
To join the Codex testnet we would need to perform the following steps:
- [Review the disclaimer](/codex/disclaimer)
- [Get Codex binary](#get-codex-binary)
- [Run Codex](#run-codex)
- [Interact with Codex](#interact-with-codex)
### Get Codex binary
For quick start we will use precompiled binaries from [GitHub release page](https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/releases). If you prefer to compile from the sources, please check [Build Codex](/learn/build).
1. Download binary and checksum for your platform/architecture
**Linux/macOS**
```shell
version=v0.1.4
platform=$(echo `uname -s` | awk '{print tolower($0)}')
architecture=$([[ `uname -m` == 'x86_64' ]] && echo amd64 || echo arm64)
# Binary
curl -LO https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/releases/download/${version}/codex-${version}-${platform}-${architecture}.tar.gz
# Checksum
curl -LO https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/releases/download/${version}/codex-${version}-${platform}-${architecture}.tar.gz.sha256
```
**Windows**
::: warning
For Windows, only amd64 architecture is supported now.
:::
```batch
set version=v0.1.4
set platform=windows
if %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%==AMD64 (set architecture=amd64) else (set architecture=arm64)
:: Binary
curl -LO https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/releases/download/%version%/codex-%version%-%platform%-%architecture%-libs.zip
:: Checksum
curl -LO https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/releases/download/%version%/codex-%version%-%platform%-%architecture%-libs.zip.sha256
```
2. Verify checksum
**Linux**
```shell
sha256sum -c codex-${version}-${platform}-${architecture}.tar.gz.sha256
```
**macOS**
```shell
shasum -a 256 -c codex-${version}-${platform}-${architecture}.tar.gz.sha256
```
**Windows**
```batch
for /f "delims=" %a in ('certUtil -hashfile codex-%version%-%platform%-%architecture%-libs.zip SHA256 ^| findstr -vrc:"[^0123-9aAb-Cd-EfF ]"') do @set ACTUAL_HASH=%a
for /f "tokens=1" %a in (codex-%version%-%platform%-%architecture%-libs.zip.sha256) do set EXPECTED_HASH=%a
if %ACTUAL_HASH% == %EXPECTED_HASH% (echo. && echo codex-%version%-%platform%-%architecture%-libs.zip: OK) else (echo. && echo codex-%version%-%platform%-%architecture%-libs.zip: FAILED)
```
Make sure you get `OK` in the result
```
codex-v0.1.4-linux-amd64.tar.gz: OK
```
3. Extract binary
**Linux/macOS**
```shell
tar -zxvf codex-${version}-${platform}-${architecture}.tar.gz
```
4. Copy binary to the appropriate folder
**Linux/macOS**
```shell
sudo install codex-${version}-${platform}-${architecture} /usr/local/bin/codex
```
**Windows**
```batch
:: Extract binary and libraries to the appropriate folder
if not exist %LOCALAPPDATA%\Codex mkdir %LOCALAPPDATA%\Codex
tar -xvf codex-%version%-%platform%-%architecture%-libs.zip -C %LOCALAPPDATA%\Codex
:: Rename binary
move /Y %LOCALAPPDATA%\Codex\codex-%version%-%platform%-%architecture%.exe %LOCALAPPDATA%\Codex\codex.exe
:: Add folder to the path permanently
setx PATH %PATH%%LOCALAPPDATA%\Codex;
:: Add folder to the path for the current session
PATH %PATH%%LOCALAPPDATA%\Codex;
```
5. Install dependencies
```shell
# Debian-based Linux
sudo apt update && sudo apt install libgomp1
```
6. Check the result
```shell
codex --version
```
```shell
Codex version: v0.1.4
Codex revision: 484124d
Nim Compiler Version 1.6.14 [Linux: amd64]
```
7. Cleanup
**Linux/macOS**
```shell
rm -f \
codex-${version}-${platform}-${architecture} \
codex-${version}-${platform}-${architecture}.tar.gz \
codex-${version}-${platform}-${architecture}.tar.gz.sha256
```
**Windows**
```batch
del codex-%version%-%platform%-%architecture%-libs.zip ^
codex-%version%-%platform%-%architecture%-libs.zip.sha256
```
### Run Codex
To run your Codex node and join the testnet, follow the steps in the [codex-testnet-starter](https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-testnet-starter/blob/master/SETUP_HOME.md).
If you want to run Codex locally without joining the testnet, consider trying the [two-client-test](https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/blob/master/docs/TwoClientTest.md) or the [marketplace-test](https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/blob/master/docs/Marketplace.md).
### Interact with Codex
When your Codex node is up and running you can interact with it using [Codex API](/developers/api).
For a walk-through of the API, consider following the [using-codex](https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-testnet-starter/blob/master/USINGCODEX.md) guide.
