Title: Installation of Wasabi Wallet on Linux, Help need.
Post by: JeromeTash on February 09, 2019, 02:02:53 AM
Can someone walk me through a step by step guide on how to install wasabi wallet on Ubuntu using the terminal?
Am still quite new to Ubuntu and earlier on, I did try to read the instructions on their website but the language used in the guide seemed too much for me to understand.
They should probably improve the guidelines for installation for a regular user.

Any form of help will be appreciated

Seems pretty straightforward.

1. Download it.
2. Extract the files with tar -pxzf WasabiLinux-1.1.0.tar.gz
3. Go to the extracted folder and run it with ./wassabee

After the first run, your wallet files will be stored in the ~/.walletwasabi/ folder.

Maybe you can describe better, which language/instruction you find hard to understand. Most Linux installation is pretty straightforward, just need to type some stuff on terminal so it's hard to know which one you mean by "too much".

Maybe the problem is choosing the right direction. I have encountered it when I used the Linux OS for the first time.

Download the wallet from this site[1], unzip it then open terminal from that direction after that write "./wassabee".

You should change the current directory to the one containing the file to execute using "cd" command or, if you want to run it from any directory, you have to enter the full path of the file (if you encounter problems with permissions, try running it by adding "sudo").
I think it is also possible to execute it and get the full path by dragging the file from graphical interface to the terminal.


Wasabi 1.1.1 was release today and it comes in a .deb package for those using Debian-based distributions.
That solves the problem, all it needs now is to double click the .deb file  :)
