Upgrading client help needed with debian

[bitcambodia]

I'm upgrading from Bitcoin-qt 8.6, which runs fine as an executable on my Debian box.

I've extracted 0.9.2.1 to a different folder, which contains no executable.

Can someone please tell me the next step?

Thanks.

Thank you.  I've run sudo apt-get update.  I get the above when attempting to install bitcoin core.  Any suggestions?

Add the Bitcoin Ubuntu PPA repository in your Ubuntu

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

Update package lists

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Install bitcoin-qt

Code:

sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

Just copy and past the code into terminal and you should have the latest version of bitcoin-qt.

If you prefer not to use a PPA you can download the latest linux client from here:http://bitcoin.org/en/download.  Just decompress the .tgz file and you've got the latest version of bitcoin-qt.*

Check the bin/32 or bin/64 folder, depending on your computer architecture (32-bit vs. 64-bit).

Add the Bitcoin Ubuntu PPA repository in your Ubuntu

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

Update package lists

Install bitcoin-qt

sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

AFAIK, PPAs don't work on Debian without some extra work, which may or may not be worth it.

GTK, thank you.

If none of the suggested methods above work, you could always back up wallet, uninstall, and install the latest version. That would be my first approach if I didn't know how to update via repo.

Thanks everyone.  Looks like the PPA route did not work on my Debian machine.

In the bin/32 folder that I extracted I have bitcoin-qt but, "There is no application installed for shared library files."  In my previous client version (8.6) there was an executable bitcoin-qt file.

Appreciate the help, I am a recovering Windows user.

If you check the file permissions, you will see that it is an executable file, not a shared library. Apparently some file managers don't actually check the file permissions to determine whether a file is an executable or not. It should run normally from the command line or a desktop shortcut.
