Guide to installing on a Linux (Ubuntu) VPS.  Edited with new Github source code location and to use the bitcoin ppa for Berkeley DB instead of compiling from source.  I think the ppa is probably easier, but take a look at the original unedited post if you want to see the other method.

If compiling Britcoin 3 from source, you must use Berkeley DB 4 (e.g. 4.8) and not 5.

Here are some sample commands for how to get going on an Ubuntu VPS.  Note that you need over 1GB RAM to compile Britcoin because of the TOR stuff.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
apt-get install git

git clone https://github.com/britcoin3/britcoin3.3.git
apt-get install nano
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install openssl
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install g++

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

cd britcoin3.3/src
make -f makefile.unix

./britcoind -daemon

That gives you a suggested username and password.

nano ~/.britcoin/britcoin.conf

Put these in the text file:

rpcuser=that username you just got
rpcpassword=that password you just got


./britcoind -daemon
