Step 3: Start the Advanced CLI Farmer
To avoid running out of space on your operating system or node database drive, it's recommended to store your plots on a separate drive.
If you choose to use the same drive for plots and the node database, make sure to leave at least 60 GiB of free space for node database growth. This helps ensure that you have enough space for both system operations and node functionality.
Open a new terminal and navigate to the directory where the Subspace farmer binary is located. Start the farmer with the following command:
# Replace <WALLET_ADDRESS> with your wallet address
# Replace <PATH_TO_FARM> with the directory where you want to store the plot
# Replace <PLOT_SIZE> with the size of the plot (e.g. 10GB, 2TiB)
./subspace-farmer-ubuntu-x86_64-skylake-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03 farm \
--reward-address <WALLET_ADDRESS> \
path=<PATH_TO_FARM>,size=<PLOT_SIZE>You should see output similar to this in your terminal:

You Are Now Farming!
You're all set! After your node syncs, plotting will start, and each plotted sector will automatically begin farming and become eligible to earn rewards.
Windows Specific Warnings:
If you face an error where the node outputs nothing and no error code is given it is likely you just need to install the latest Visual C++ Redistributable package here
Step 1: Download the Advanced CLI Executables
Step 2: Start Advanced CLI Node
A Windows Defender Firewall has blocked some features of this app
warning may appear.
This is because the application is trying to access the internet. This is expected as it is how the farmer talks to other farmers on the network, select Allow access
to continue setup.
- Open
Powershell
(we do not recommend using Command Prompt as its syntax is slightly different) - In the terminal we will change to the Downloads directory using this command
cd Downloads
- We will then start the node using the following command:
# Replace `INSERT_YOUR_ID` with a nickname you choose
# Copy all of the lines below, they are all part of the same command
.\subspace-node-windows-x86_64-skylake-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03.exe `
run `
--chain gemini-3h `
--base-path NODE_DATA_PATH `
--farmer `
--name "INSERT_YOUR_ID"
Using run, setting --base-path and specifying --chain became mandatory starting with Gemini 3h. The parameter --validator
was switched to --farmer
at the same time.
As of the Jun 11, 2024 version a new option is available for fast syncing called Snap Sync. It will only work for the initial sync, but many people report that they are fully synced within hours, not days. The parameter is --sync snap.

Step 1: Download Advanced CLI Executables
Step 2: Start Advanced CLI Node
When attempting to start the node, you may be prompted: Click on cancel
instead of moving it to trash.
To allow execution, go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General
, and click on allow
.
After this, simply repeat the step you prompted for (step 4 or 6). This time, click the Open
button when prompted.
- Open your favorite terminal, and change to the Downloads directory using
cd Downloads
- Make the farmer & node executable:
chmod +x subspace-farmer-macos-aarch64-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03
chmod +x subspace-node-macos-aarch64-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03
- We will then start the node using the following command
# Replace `INSERT_YOUR_ID` with a nickname you choose

Step 3: Start Advanced CLI Farmer
- We will then open another terminal, change to the downloads directory, then start the farmer node with the following command:
# Replace `PATH_TO_FARM` with location where you want you store plot files
# Replace `WALLET_ADDRESS` below with your account address from Polkadot.js wallet
# Replace `PLOT_SIZE` with plot size in gigabytes or terabytes, for example 100G or 2T (but leave at least 60G of disk space for node and some for OS)
./subspace-farmer-macos-aarch64-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03 farm --reward-address WALLET_ADDRESS path=PATH_TO_FARM,size=PLOT_SIZE
- You should see something similar in the terminal:

- You are now farming! Just wait for your node to fully sync, and for your farmer to fully plot.
Create a New User for Autonomys:
Running a node as a root user carries significant risks for the system. It is recommended to create a separate user for this purpose.
sudo useradd -m -p ! -s /sbin/nologin -c "" subspace
You can also use an existing user, but having a separate user enhances the security of your server.
Switch to the Newly Created User:
sudo su subspace -s /bin/bash
Create a Directory for Executable Files:
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
Download the Executable Files, using the appropriate commands:
x86_64 Ubuntu Executables
Version 2 - for older processors since ~2009 and some old VMs
wget -O ~/.local/bin/subspace-node https://github.com/autonomys/subspace/releases/download/gemini-3h-2024-sep-03/subspace-node-ubuntu-x86_64-v2-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03
wget -O ~/.local/bin/subspace-farmer https://github.com/autonomys/subspace/releases/download/gemini-3h-2024-sep-03/subspace-farmer-ubuntu-x86_64-v2-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03
Version skylake - For newer processors since ~2015
wget -O ~/.local/bin/subspace-node https://github.com/autonomys/subspace/releases/download/gemini-3h-2024-sep-03/subspace-node-ubuntu-x86_64-skylake-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03
wget -O ~/.local/bin/subspace-farmer https://github.com/autonomys/subspace/releases/download/gemini-3h-2024-sep-03/subspace-farmer-ubuntu-x86_64-skylake-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03
Aarch64/64-bit Raspberry Pi Executables
wget -O ~/.local/bin/subspace-node https://github.com/autonomys/subspace/releases/download/gemini-3h-2024-sep-03/subspace-node-ubuntu-aarch64-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03
wget -O ~/.local/bin/subspace-farmer https://github.com/autonomys/subspace/releases/download/gemini-3h-2024-sep-03/subspace-farmer-ubuntu-aarch64-gemini-3h-2024-sep-03
By default, these commands download the executable files to the ~/.local/bin
directory.
You can change the directory by modifying the respective string.
You can use the same commands to update the node.
Make the Files Executable:
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/subspace-node
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/subspace-farmer
Create a Directory for Node and Farmer Data:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share
Exit from the User:
exit
Generate Contents for the Service Files, replacing the relevant fields. Remember to change the username if setting up the node from a regular user:
Systemd Service File Generator
Open the Node Service File and Paste the Corresponding Generated Content:
EDITOR=nano sudo -e /etc/systemd/system/subspace-node.service
Open the Farmer Service File and Paste the Corresponding Generated Content:
EDITOR=nano sudo -e /etc/systemd/system/subspace-farmer.service
Enable and Start the Node and Farmer:
sudo systemctl enable --now subspace-{node,farmer}
Useful Commands
Start Node:
sudo systemctl start subspace-node
Start Farmer:
sudo systemctl start subspace-farmer
Stop Node:
sudo systemctl stop subspace-node
Stop Farmer:
sudo systemctl stop subspace-farmer
Enable Node (for automatic startup on system boot):
sudo systemctl enable subspace-node
Enable Farmer (for automatic startup on system boot):
sudo systemctl enable subspace-farmer
Disable Node (to prevent automatic startup on system boot):
sudo systemctl disable subspace-node
Disable Farmer (to prevent automatic startup on system boot):
sudo systemctl disable subspace-farmer
Check Node Service Status:
sudo systemctl status subspace-node
Check Farmer Service Status:
sudo systemctl status subspace-farmer
View Node Logs:
sudo journalctl -f -o cat -u subspace-node
View Farmer Logs:
sudo journalctl -f -o cat -u subspace-farmer
Count Farmer Rewards Received in the Last Hour:
sudo journalctl -o cat -u subspace-farmer --since="1 hour ago" | grep -i "Successfully signed reward hash" | wc -l
Upgrade
To upgrade a node and farmer, first, stop running services:
sudo systemctl stop subspace-{node,farmer}
After using the commands from the beginning of the manual, download the executable files of the new release. And if you installed under a regular user, you will need to switch to that user beforehand.
Now you can start the services:
sudo systemctl start subspace-{node,farmer}
Step 1: Prepare Values
- Input your parameters in the provided form and click
Generate
. Don't forget to specify your reward address instead of a default one!
Step 2: Fill in Generator
Docker Compose File Generator
Step 3: Execute Docker Compose
Copy the generated
docker-compose.yaml
file.Create the
subspace
directory and thedocker-compose.yaml
file in it. Paste the output from the generator into the file.Now go to directory with
docker-compose.yaml
and typedocker compose up -d
to start everything
You can read logs with docker compose logs --tail=1000 -f
, for the rest read Docker Compose CLI reference.
Build from source (Linux)
If you're running unsupported Linux distribution or CPU architecture, you may try to build binaries yourself from source.
NOTE: This is primarily targeted at tech-savvy users and not recommended unless you know what you're doing. Please try to find answer to your question online before reaching out to maintainers.
You'll have to have Rust toolchain installed as well as LLVM, Clang and CMake in addition to usual developer tooling (Ubuntu example):
sudo apt-get install llvm clang cmake
The build with LLVM + Clang 16 ends with UnknownOpcode(192)
error due to breaking changes concerning WASM in LLVM 16. You can read more about this issue here. At this point, the solution is to use LLVM + Clang 15 and add the -Z build-std
flag to the cargo build
command.
Now clone the source and build snapshot snapshot-2023-aug-18
(replace occurrences with the snapshot you want to build):
git clone https://github.com/autonomys/subspace.git
cd subspace
git checkout snapshot-2023-aug-18
cargo build \
--profile production \
--bin subspace-node \
--bin subspace-farmer
You'll find two binaries under target/production
directory once it succeeds, after which refer to instructions above on how to use them.
