I'm upgrading from Bitcoin-qt 8.6, which runs fine as an executable on my Debian box.
I've extracted 0.9.2.1 to a different folder, which contains no executable.
Can someone please tell me the next step?
Thanks.
Check the bin/32 or bin/64 folder, depending on your computer architecture (32-bit vs. 64-bit).
Add the Bitcoin Ubuntu PPA repository in your Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
Update package lists
sudo apt-get update
Install bitcoin-qt
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
Just copy and past the code into terminal and you should have the latest version of bitcoin-qt.
If you prefer not to use a PPA you can download the latest linux client from here:http://bitcoin.org/en/download. Just decompress the .tgz file and you've got the latest version of bitcoin-qt.*
*Edited to make relevant.
AFAIK, PPAs don't work on Debian without some extra work, which may or may not be worth it.
