Re: Bitcoin Core 0.18.1 Installation Help Request for Ubuntu 18 LTS

Google tells me the command below is used in the Ubuntu Terminal to install an application:

Code:

sudo apt-get install

That is if you are installing it through a PPA (which you prefer not). You would need to add Bitcoin Core's PPA repo and use "sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt" to install it.

To install through the tar.gz file, follow these instructions: https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#linux-instructions

Basically:

Code:

tar xzf bitcoin-0.18.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

Code:

sudo install -m 0755 -o root -g root -t /usr/local/bin bitcoin-0.18.1/bin/*

Then run bitcoin-qt to open the GUI.
