When the node is started again, Geth will automatically use all the data from the previous version and sync the blocks that were missed while the node was offline.

### Gentoo via Portage {#gentoo-via-portage}

Geth is included in the Gentoo repository as [`net-p2p/go-ethereum`](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-p2p/go-ethereum). It can be installed by running:

IMO we should integrate it into our CI pipeline if we have it here -- no offense meant to you, but we should not rely on specific individuals pushing packages years into the future.

I am the current maintainer, yes. It has been in the Gentoo repository for much longer than that, however. Note that this is the official Gentoo repository, and is not something like a PPA or the AUR.

I'd be happy to investigate automation if there's a chance of merging it. Essentially this would entail copying a file, updating the URL, running a build, and opening a pull request.

How is this implemented for Arch Linux?


```sh
emerge --ask net-p2p/go-ethereum
```

To install the additional developer tools (`abidump`, `abigen`, `blsync`, `bootnode`, `clef`, `devp2p`, `era`, `ethkey`, `evm`, and `rlpdump`), enable the `devtools` useflag:

#### File: `/etc/portage/package.use/go-ethereum`

```
net-p2p/go-ethereum devtools
```

## Standalone bundle {#standalone-bundle}

Stable releases and development builds are provided as standalone bundles. These are useful for users who: a) wish to install a specific version of Geth (e.g., for reproducible environments); b) wish to install on machines without internet access (e.g. air-gapped computers); or c) wish to avoid automatic updates and instead prefer to manually install software.
