I've been trying to install the CLI on a LInux Mint 18 OS, on a homebuild machine.

It shows it downloading, installing and I've done all the command line instructions for the Terminal as well, but I can't seem to get "bipcoincd" to work, or even show up as anything other than an exe file.

Am I doing it wrong?

Or does bipcoin just not work on Linux Mint?



The linux binaries are 64-bit binaries.  Are you by chance running 32-bit OS?  Do you get an error message when you execute it?  As mentioned before, if any of the files end with ".exe" you have the wrong download.

Nope, I'm running 64bit machine Linux Mint 18.
No error messages.
I input all the command lines in Terminal
.
DL'ed https://bipcoin.org/DROPS/0001/bipcoin.linux.x64.v0-0-0-1.tar.gz to desktop and extract that.
I click on "bipcoind" and nothing happens.

I must be doing it wrong.
Sorry for all the trouble, and thanks for responding everyone.

 Sad

You can't just click on the file to run it.  You have to open the terminal / command line application, navigate to the bipcoin folder, then type ./bipcoind to run it.
