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.

Specifically, the Linea-specific API methods documented in our reference section will not work properly unless you install and configure linea-sequencer.

Instructions​

  1. Go to the linea-sequencer repo releases page and download the .jar file for the latest release.

  2. In the local Besu runtime directory (where you will run Besu from), create a directory called plugins and place the .jar file there.

  3. In the config-mainnet.toml file, add LINEA to the list of RPC methods:

    rpc-http-api=["ADMIN","NET","ETH","WEB3","TXPOOL","LINEA"]

When you run Besu, you will see the linea-sequencer plugin registered during startup.
