Distributed Cryptography

Install on Linux

There is one download for each kind of processor. uname -m tells you which one you have: x86_64 is a 64-bit PC, aarch64 is ARM (a Raspberry Pi, for example).

  1. Download the current version:

  2. Check the file:

    Terminal window
    sha256sum DistributedCryptography-Linux-x64.tar.gz

    The result must be the same as this value:

    Loading…

    If the value is not shown, open the release page: it lists the SHA-256 of every file, and so does SHA256SUMS.txt.

    If it is different, do not use the file. Download it again.

  3. Unpack it and go into the folder:

    Terminal window
    tar -xzf DistributedCryptography-Linux-x64.tar.gz
    cd DistributedCryptography

  4. Start the application:

    Terminal window
    ./bin/GxWebStartup

  5. In another terminal, open the browser:

    Terminal window
    xdg-open localhost:5000/wallet.wallets

The files are built by GitHub from the public source code, and every version stays available on the releases page.

QR codes

Section titled “QR codes”

Since version 0.924 the wallet draws QR codes by itself: no system library is needed. Version 0.923 needed the library libgdiplus and one setting; if it shows an error where a QR code should be, install the latest version.

On a server

Section titled “On a server”

To run the wallet as a service, with a public address and HTTPS, see Linux server (web app).
