Title: BTC wallet Linux installation - how to?
Post by: Melnik on December 13, 2015, 08:55:36 PM
Hi guys! I am quite new in Linux and dont know how to install official wallet.
The full node client is downloaded from here:
https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

64 bit Linux Mint. Then unpacked in the separate folder. What is next? how to install it? No executable files are detectable.

You can create a shell script with the command you need to run Bitcoin core and then save that to the desktop. Every time you want to start bitcoin, just run that script.
