Wallet setup on Ubuntu

[zorrotmm]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to set up a Darkcoin wallet on Ubuntu? I see two downloads for it, but no installation instructions. Or, are there any sites out there like blockchain.info that allow you to set up a Darkcoin wallet there? I'd like to get started, but it seems silly to have to fire up a windows machine just to get the wallet. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd appreciate an explanation as well.

Install:

cd ~/.darkcoin
wget http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoin-qt
chmod a+x ./darkcoin-qt
sudo ln -s ~/.darkcoin/darkcoin-qt /usr/bin/darkcoin-qt

Now run darkcoin-qt

wget http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoin-qt
chmod a+x ./darkcoin-qt

Now run darkcoin-qt

Perfect, thank you.

Install:

cd ~/.darkcoin
wget http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoin-qt
chmod a+x ./darkcoin-qt
sudo ln -s ~/.darkcoin/darkcoin-qt /usr/bin/darkcoin-qt

Now run darkcoin-qt

Why not just do

wget https://darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoin-qt
chmod +x darkcoin-qt
./darkcoin-qt

Are there any security precautions that I should be aware of as a new Ubuntu user? Is it a risk to use the admin account as a default?

He asked for install, not download

Yes, just dont.
