Title: [ANN][XMR][HOW TO] Install & use Monero on Linux
Post by: superresistant on July 03, 2014, 12:53:56 PM

Updated

The very basic to use Monero on Linux.
It's a good start.

Installation

All-in-one installation script (may not work if the script is not updated) :

Code:

cd ~ && rm -f install_monero.sh && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Quanttek/install_monero/master/install_monero.sh && bash install_monero.sh

If it doesn't work then :

Install some stuff you'll probably need

Code:

sudo aptitude install git cmake libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libevent-dev libdb++-dev

Install Monero the normal way (should always work)

Code:

cd
git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git
cd ../bitmonero && make

Remove Monero if needed (don't do that now)

Code:

cd
rm -r bitmonero

Create the blockchain folder and download the blockchain

Code:

cd
mkdir ~/.bitmonero
cd ~/.bitmonero
wget http://downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain/linux/blockchain.bin

Remove the Blockchain if needed (don't do that now)

Code:

cd
rm -r ~/.bitmonero

Use Monero

Run monero daemon

Code:

cd bitmonero/build/release/bin/ && ./bitmonerod

Run the wallet

Code:

cd bitmonero/build/release/bin/ && ./simplewallet

You cannot open two things at the same time in the same session, learn to use tmux to open bitmonerod + simplewallet simultaneously

Use tmux

Open a new tmux session to have multiple things running

Code:

tmux

Detach the current tmux session to go to an other one without interrupting the process
press Ctrl + b
then d
List all tmux sessions

Code:

tmux list-sessions

Open a tmux session

Code:

tmux attach -t 0

Open an other tmux session if they are two

Code:

tmux attach -t 1

Kill a tmux session

Code:

tmux kill-session -t 0

Other stuff

To be continued...

Or just use the installation script (https://github.com/Quanttek/install_monero) for Monero

Does it install wolf cpu miner ?

Where can I find a script that install wolf cpu miner with it ?

Don't know if bumping this topic is right... ???

It will do:

Code:

cd ~
clear
echo "This is the monero installation script. It will install monero with all it's requirements, starting with the latest boost-version, plus CPUMiner"
echo "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
echo "[1] INSTALL Monero essentials (wallet + solominer)"
echo "[2] INSTALL Wolf's poolminer"
echo "[3] INSTALL Everything"
echo "[6] UPDATE  Monero essentials (wallet + solominer)"
echo "[7] UPDATE  Wolf's poolminer"
echo "[8] UPDATE  Everything"
echo "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

P.S. Thanks for the guide! It was really helpful when installing on a VPS.

Edit: build-essential install command is two times in the OP and libbz2-dev and -y aren't separated. :)

I think the latest source needs a few more dependencies. I am saying just in case...

"Dependencies: GCC 4.7.3 or later, CMake 2.8.6 or later, libunbound 1.4.16 or later (note: Unbound is not a dependency, libunbound is), libevent 2.0 or later, libgtest 1.5 or later, and Boost 1.53 or later (except 1.54, more details here). "

P.S. It is problem of Qt. Do you know how to install bitmonerod only?

Can you tell me exactly what you did and what system do you use? Cause as i said this is really an old source and not even from the core team:
https://github.com/bitmonero-project/bitmonero (Old source)

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero (thats the right source)

No i dont know how to compile just bitmonerod. Before, you could just uncheck simplewallet and test from CMakeLists.txt but now i dont know how.

We don't use Qt, there's no Monero GUI in Monero core yet. What operating system are you building on? And what compiler version do you get if you run gcc --version or g++ --version?

I used new source. OS : Ubuntu and I am installing on VPS. I will tell about the version soon, I am trying again now and the shell script is running.

Edit: Version of gcc/g++ is 4.6.3 .

Ok there's your problem - per the dependencies: "Dependencies: GCC 4.7.3 or later"

If you're on an older version of Ubuntu you may find it best to add the Toolchain Test Builds PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test and then install a more recent version of gcc. Once installed you will need to link the newer gcc/g++ version to default (ie. something similar to http://askubuntu.com/questions/26498/choose-gcc-and-g-version)

It's probably easier for you to install Ubuntu 13.10 or 14.04 on your VPS instead. Ubuntu 14.04 is recommended, as it has current versions of gcc and boost.

Everything done but still giving errors.

It's not mine, I am helping a person but I will tell him though I am not sure whether he will because some daemons already installed in it and the sync is complete(BTC, LTC, Doge etc...).

Wolf's kinda blows for non-aes. Install YAM's -

thats a list of his miners, each compiled for different CPU architectures

No, it doesn't ! :'(
It's a big deception, but when I'm launching the script, there's a fatal error at the end :

-- Could not find Berkeley DB >= 4.1 (missing: BERKELEY_DB_INCLUDE_DIR BERKELEY_DB_LIBRARIES) CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:45 (message): BerkeleyDB not found. At this time it should be installed in your system for a non-static build.

Have someone already encountered the same thing ? ???

Yeah, the source code changed. The script needs to be updated. With the new code, the following will get you along farther.

Code:

sudo apt-get install libevent-dev

Hmmm, yes I doubted something was going on with a sort of "openssl-dev".
I made my choice on "packages.debian.org" and installed "libcurl4-openssl-dev".

But that doesn't work neither... :-[

you still getting a dependency problem or what?

the latest head doesn't compile for me - it borks out with errors at around 74%... but head is bleeding edge, so this is the purpose of head - to find these bugs.

This commit compiled fine for me, so do this

make your way to ~/bitmonero/

Code:

git checkout f37ee2f30428040741ffc5c5bc96a12280f1ad93

then

Code:

make clean

hit yes, kill the build directory (unless you had wallet files in their)

then

Code:

make release-static

Ok, I'm going on.

I tried "git checkout", but sorry I'm not used to : what's that for ? ???
And finally, the same error occured.

So I looked after the same error code on internet and found this : https://github.com/ellzey/libevhtp/issues/127 (https://github.com/ellzey/libevhtp/issues/127)
I installed "libssl-dev" and it worked ! ;D

OK, OK... some warnings appeared, but for developpers eyes. Developpers, if you are interested : tell me ! 8)

Then I ran "bitmonerod" and it synchronized !
There is just this annoying message (for developpers eyes) :
[1433872546] libunbound[17776:0] info: warning: unsupported algorithm for trust anchor . DS IN
[1433872546] libunbound[17776:0] warning: trust anchor . has no supported algorithms, the anchor is ignored (check if you need to upgrade unbound and openssl)

Awesome! There yah go ! Thats how yah do it!

We're all developers with Monero - thats what open source means.

Maybe the updated install script fixed these issues... i gotta find a way to host that. I dloaded it a while ago.... hrm....

Can't setup monero.

clone git
install cmake since it was required
I run 'make'
Once make is done I can't install
make install or install make does nothing.

What am I missing ?

neither does in build and release folder.
