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.

ok, thanks for your help.

I get to " /bipcoin $ "

then I type in ./bipcoind

nada. I get
 "bash:   ./bipcoind: No such file or directory"

I recommend that you PM me if you would like help, in order to keep this thread clean.  However, in the interest of transparency I also recommend, after our correspondence is finished, that you copy all of our messages into PasteBin and post the link here.  I don't like giving people commands to execute on their computer in private communication due to the appearance of impropriety.  Plus the resolution to your problem may help others.  I just don't to want to hijack the thread with 30 posts back and forth for a very specific problem like this one.

If anyone disagrees with me, feel free to object.

Hijack away, I like seeing how it progresses. And if you want to edit it into a pastebin when you're done, I'll do a blog post linking it on the BipCoin website.
