Can anyone out there please help....
I am a windows guy, with minimal linux experience (although i can compiled a few wallets and miners - usually from instructions)
I have a pc permanetly mining on ubuntu, and would love to install burst onto the same pc, but for the life in me i have no idea where to start.
I've downloaded Burst 2.4.1, managed to install JAVA (although not one of the instructions given actaully worked), manged to find mariabd, and a setup file, but surprise surprise nothing works.
I mean seriously, wtf does
==============================================
[Download and install MariaDB](
https://mariadb.com/downloads/mariadb-tx]
The MariaDb installation will ask to setup a password for the root user.
Add this password to the `brs.properties` file you will create when installing BRS:
===================================================
mean?
I managed to find what i think was the right file (just), downloaded it, it was mariadb-10.4.6-ubuntu-xenial-amd64-debs.tar....so how do i install it...(hmm the words above simply say INSTALL
So i found this - mariadb_repo_setup (yeah, managed to run it - so what) - it never asked for a password, so how can i put a password in brs.properties
Anyway
So, this is my install
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
and java version
openjdk version "1.8.0_03-Ubuntu"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_03-Ubuntu-8u77-b03-3ubuntu3-b03)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.03-b03, mixed mode)
I did a standard install from usb to hdd, and have 1 user account, password prortected, and download all files into a folder called "Downloads"
So if anyone has a spare moment or two, could someone please post in here, or pm me with a consice idioys guide to download BURST full local wallet and to get in running....
Stupid thing is, i can get the plotter and miner working....why the FCUK is BURST so hard on linux....grrrr
Head in hands, praying to the linux gods on high
