I am trying to install a specific version v1.7.3 of geth using 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt install ethereum

This installs the latest package available (geth v1.8.2). But I want another package with same package name ethereum but different content (1.7.3+build11486+zesty)

I need the commands to install v1.7.3. I have to use it in a dockerfile.

geth package version v1.7.3 is only available on ubuntu zesty platform i.e. ubuntu 17.04.

If you want to install ethereum version v1.7.3 with all its dependencies on ubuntu 16.04 you can always use non-elegant solution to install packages from the .deb files.

The Dockerfile is:

FROM ubuntu:16.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget 
RUN wget https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum/+files/abigen_1.7.3+build11486+zesty_amd64.deb && \
    wget https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum/+files/bootnode_1.7.3+build11486+zesty_amd64.deb && \
    wget https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum/+files/ethereum_1.7.3+build11486+zesty_amd64.deb && \
    wget https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum/+files/ethereum_1.7.3+build11486+zesty_amd64.deb && \
    wget https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum/+files/evm_1.7.3+build11486+zesty_amd64.deb && \
    wget https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum/+files/geth_1.7.3+build11486+zesty_amd64.deb && \
    wget https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum/+files/puppeth_1.7.3+build11486+zesty_amd64.deb && \
    wget https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum/+files/rlpdump_1.7.3+build11486+zesty_amd64.deb && \
    wget https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum/+files/swarm_1.7.3+build11486+zesty_amd64.deb && \
    wget https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum/+files/wnode_1.7.3+build11486+zesty_amd64.deb
RUN dpkg -i *.deb && rm -vf *.deb

  • Thanks it worked.I am setting up a private net on docker (with each node in a container).When I executed this docker file i could set up the container with geth running in it it but the node take a lot of time to mine and hashrate=0. Is it the version problem ?? – NIKITHA NIMBALKAR Mar 16 '18 at 09:04
