Introduction
There are currently four places where you can get community built binaries for Linux distributions:
* [//launchpad.net/~gridcoin/+archive/ubuntu/gridcoin-stable ppa:gridcoin/gridcoin-stable] for Ubuntu. (i386, amd64, armhf)
* Debian builds are tricky right now because we have had great difficulty with Bintray. There are builds on Rocket/Slack, be sure to ask. * [//build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home%3AtheMarix&package=gridcoin openSUSE Build Service] for Fedora and openSUSE. (i585, x86_64) * [//aur.archlinux.org/packages/gridcoinresearch-qt AUR package] for ArchLinux`
NOTE: For low memory devices or cloud instances with <= 1GB of RAM, a swap file is imperative or gridcoin will crash on startup.
Using the Ubuntu PPA
[//help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu Ubuntu Repository Help] has a great page on all the ways to add repositories to your system.
tl;dr
Use add-apt-repository to help manage all your PPAs
sudo apt-get install python3-software-properties # installs add-apt-repository
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gridcoin/gridcoin-stable
sudo apt-get update
You have two choices for the wallet; a headless daemon or a graphical interface. (QT)
To install the wallet with graphical interface:
sudo apt-get install gridcoinresearch-qt
To install the headless daemon:
sudo apt-get install gridcoinresearchd
Using Arch Linux
stable
The following stable AUR packages exist for running on Arch Linux:
Qt client:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gridcoinresearch-qt
Headless (daemon) (replaces the old gridcoinresearch-daemon package):
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gridcoinresearchd
development
git (dev) packages exist as well (for building latest commit and not release):
Qt git client:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gridcoinresearch-qt-git
Headless (daemon) (replaces the old gridcoinresearch-daemon package):
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gridcoinresearchd-git
Creating config file
Once Gridcoin is installed you will need to set-up the configuration (conf) file.
From command line:
nano ~/.GridcoinResearch/gridcoinresearch.conf
If you are using the "nano" command line editor, press CTRL+O to write the file information, and then CTRL+X to exit.
For any other editor, use the save file function and exit the file
