The upgrade of mainnet nodes is not mandatory for all the existing nodes, and you should be able to keep earning block rewards with the previous release. To use the prebuilt static linked binary, you need to upgrade the node.sh after we publish the binary and script. Or you may build the release code from the s3 branch.
To download the latest node.sh, using
curl -LO https://harmony.one/node.sh
chmod +x node.sh
To download and start the node.sh using -I option to get the static binary.
To check if you are using the static binary, using
file harmony
and you will see
harmony: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0
Now you can run ./harmony -version to check the version of the harmony binary.
