To install the Ubuntu packages add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
Code:
deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/cdecker/xUbuntu_10.04/ ./
Next update:Code:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install bitcoind
If you get a warning about not being able to verify the validity of the packages, just ignore them, I wasn't able to find the public key yet :-)sudo aptitude install bitcoind
Then just create a config file ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf to configure the RPC password:
Code:
rpcpassword=<yourpassword>
After this just start the daemon via
Code:
bitcoind
and control it using the JSON interface.I'll be trying to create openSuse and SLE packages too, Debian would be possible too, but compiling wx, boost and libdb sounds a bit excessive to me, anyone interested in helping?
