Installing Akash suite from source

$ go get -d github.com/ovrclk/akash
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ovrclk/akash
$ git checkout v0.6.1
$ make deps-install
$ make install

Akash is developed and tested with golang 1.14+. Building requires a working golang installation, a properly set GOPATH, and $GOPATH/bin present in $PATH.

Once you have the dependencies properly setup, download and build akashctl and akashd using make install
