for those who want to use the Linux Wallet, just build it from source.
on Ubuntu you will need a bunch of prerequisites:
These will differ a bit depending on which version of Ubuntu you are using. Here is 14.04:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev
That should be all of it. If there are some more outstanding, please post here so I can update the tut.
Once prerequisites are loaded, do:
git clone
https://github.com/weenfan/Kratom.gitcd Kratom/src/
chmod a+x leveldb/build_detect_platform
make -f makefile.unix -j3 USE_UPNP=-
once the build is complete, run "./kratomd"
This will prompt you to create a conf file.
vi ~/.kratom/kratom.conf (If you do not know how to use vi, then use nano, it is a bit more user friendly)
you should not need more than:
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcpassword=somepassword
rpcuser=someuser
Once the file is in place you can run ./kratomd again and it will start syncing. To make the sync faster you can extract the blockchain zip file that is listed in the ANN above to ~/.kratom and then start the kratomd daemon.
Hope this helps
