Hi everyone.
Description: Im building a btc faucet on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine and ive never installed anything to do with btc on Ubuntu before.
Dont do that.
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.
