Title: Armory Offline 0.93.1 Installation Help Please
Post by: matrix01 on March 20, 2015, 01:41:32 PM
Fellow Forum Members,
I am having some problems installing Armory Offline 0.93.1 onto my cold storage PC.

I double click on the file named, "Install_DoubleClick_RunInTerminal.sh" and a window appears showing this code: "sudo dpkg -i *.deb". After that nothing happens. In other words, no installation of Armory Offline package takes place.

Isn't a script suppose to run that automatically installs the software? 

Nevertheless, what code in the terminal do I need to use to get armory offline package installed?  Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Our apologies.  I should've updated the website to indicate that the 12.04 bundles are not going to work with 0.93 or 0.93.1.  You need to use 0.92.3, which is fine because all the features you need you for offline mode are unchanged in 0.93.  We're actively working on a fix for getting things to run on 12.04 again, but it will likely have to wait for the next major Armory version  (we need it to work on 12.04 for our Gitian build process, anyway).

Etotheipi,
Just to make sure I understand you correctly.  For those of us running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a Cold Storage PC we need to install Armory Offline Bundle version 0.92.3.


And just for further clarification, for those of us running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS  on an ONLINE PC we need to install Bitcoin Core 10 and Armory 0.93.1 on the ONLINE PC.

In short, it does not matter that my Armory versions between my ONLINE PC and my OFFLINE PC do not match since one is running Armory 0.93.1 and the other one is running  Armory Offline Bundle version 0.92.3?   

I look forward to hearing back from you as to whether or not I am understanding all of this correctly. Thanks in advance.

Yes, mixing versions online and offline is fine.  As long as they both >0.92 (so they have the same offline/multi-sig message formats)

Thanks for your clarification because due to the version 0.93.1 downloads links posted in the thread below:


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=995872.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=995872.0)

I was under the impression both my ONLINE PC and my OFFLINE PC required they  run the same 0.93.1 version of Armory.  I'm still not sure why mixing the versions between ONLINE PC and my OFFLINE PC is necessary.  Nevertheless, I will do what you say and mix the versions between my ONLINE PC and my OFFLINE PC to get all of this to work together in harmony.

Have you had any luck? I'm experiencing the same issue. I tried 3 different Ubuntu installs with the 0.92.3 bundle and I keep getting the same error:
"dpkg: error processing archive *.deb(--install): cannot access archive: no such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing *.deb"

Double clicking the .sh file doesn't work so I manually execute the .sh with terminal.
sh /home/user/Destop/OffLineBundle/Install_DoubleClick_RunInTerminal.sh

I'm a Linux Noob (or knob if I'm doing it wrong) so I'm relying on community guidance to execute the script.

Versions of Ubuntu tried:
12.04
14.04
15.04

Never mind, I figured it out. You have to open the directory in terminal first.

Scratch that.
The Script executed, but I get a number of errors during installation so nothing gets installed in the end.
