Yeah I tried that too but wasn't sure exactly how to do it, sorry I forgot. But you have to remember you're talking to a complete n00b here when it comes to ubuntu. Can you or anyone else post a step by step please, or a link that fully explains how to do it?
in the terminal run this command, to add the bitcoin repo:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
and then update:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
and then, to install bitcoin:
Code:
sudo apt-get install bitcoin
Doesn't work, because it needs these files and the pages are down :
This was actually one of the main reasons I didn't switch to linux ages ago. The lack of .exe files for things.
edit : Thanks Coincrazy, but the instructions in that video are the same and it can't find the files due to pages that are down.
