Linux wallets:Compiling the Wallet Manually
1)Download the newest source from here. If you want to check out the Github page,
https://github.com/VMCoin/VMC2)Unzip the package with the native client OR, navigate to your downloads and unzip
cd ~/Downloads
unzip VMC-master.zip
3)Now it's time to compile. You will need to install the dependencies, just copy and paste the following code. It will be a
fairly large download and could take some time. It is always important to update before installing any new software, so
we'll do that first and then install the dependencies.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libqrencode-dev qt4-qmake libqtgui4 libqt4-dev
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev libminiupnpc8 libboost-all-dev build-essential git libboost1.48-all-dev
4)Once that is done, go to the vm coin master directory and compile:
cd ~/Downloads/VMC-master/
qmake USE_UPNP=- USE_QRCODE=0 USE_IPV6=0
make -j3
After running the qmake command you will likely see some text similar to
Project MESSAGE: Building without UPNP support
Project MESSAGE: Building with UPNP supportRemoved plural forms as the target language has less forms.
If this sounds wrong, possibly the target language is not set or recognized.
It's perfectly normal, so don't worry about that.
Your VMCwallet is ready to go! The executable is in ~/Downloads/Virtualminingcoin-master/ and called Virtualminingcoin-qt.
Your wallet information is in ~/.Virtualminingcoin. You can run the wallet at any time by opening terminal and typing
cd ~/Downloads/VMC-master/
./Virtualminingcoin-qt
Future upgrades to VMCwallet are easy. Back up your wallet.dat, and simply follow the same directions above, but you'll be
unzipping and building the newer version. You will likely need to rename the old Virtualminingcoin-master directory in
~/Downloads before unzipping the newest version and building. Also, it is likely that you will not need to install the
dependencies again.
