Community Debian .deb Install Packages for the SmartCash Wallet + Tutorial (Linux)
** Please note I am not the creator of the SmartCash binaries and only prepared the Debian Install packages. The binaries come directly from the smartcash.cc/get-smartcash downloads **
Community SmartCash .deb Install Packages
I've created Debian install packages for both the 32bit & 64bit versions of the SmartCash Wallet available for the community. You can view the source code for these packages on my GitHub. The install packages add Desktop Menu support (see below) & make it much each easier for the Debian/Ubuntu users to install (and/or remove) the wallet binaries (provided by core team). I've also provided a blockchain bootstrap up to Oct 19th and detailed installation instructions below. If you follow my tutorial you can have your SmartCash wallet not only installed but sync'd within 10 minutes!
SmartCash Wallet v0.8.7.10
You can download the .deb Install Packages below or scroll down for a tutorial on installing via the terminal.
SmartCash32 v0.8.7.10
32-Bit Install Package
SmartCash64 v0.8.7.10
64-Bit Install Package
Command Line Tutorial
Part 1 -
If you are doing a fresh install and not an upgrade please start here to include bootstrap!
Let's go to your home directory, create the .smartcash folder and enter it.
cd ~/
mkdir .smartcash
cd .smartcash
Now let's get you caught up on the blockchain (via my bootstrap)
If you don't have unzip already
sudo apt-get install unzip
Now let's download the zipped bootstrap
wget 'http://proteanx.com/smartcashblocksoct19.zip'
(This may take a minute to download the 135mb zip)
Unzip the contents and remove the zip file
unzip smartcashblocksoct19.zip
rm smartcashblocksoct19.zip
You should now have 2 new folders in your .smartcash folder (blocks & chainstate). You're ready to move onto the install.
Part 2 Installing the SmartCash Debian Install Package
If you are just upgrading and/or adding menu support please start here and skip the bootstrap!
Let's download the appropriate package and install using dpkg
For 32-bit
cd ~/Downloads/
wget 'https://github.com/proteanx/smartcashdeb/releases/download/0.8.7.10/smartcash32_0.8.7.10.deb'
sudo dpkg -i smartcash32_0.8.7.10.deb
For 64-bit
cd ~/Downloads/
wget 'https://github.com/proteanx/smartcashdeb/releases/download/0.8.7.10/smartcash64_0.8.7.10.deb'
sudo dpkg -i smartcash64_0.8.7.10.deb
Your installation is now complete! You can now find the SmartCash Wallet in the 'Internet' section of your Desktop Menu or start the qt client by using the 'smartcash-qt' command in your terminal!
I'll definitely be writing more about SmartCash in the future but in the meantime if you would like to learn more about SmartCash please visit https://www.SmartCash.cc

Pretty complicated stuff for the average person, though you lay things out pretty clearly. I think the average person who is interested in Cryptocurrency is looking more for something plug and play.
