Awesome! I just tested this on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 and it works fine. Im not sure why I couldnt install via the .deb file and Software Center - but this worked!
What would the process be for updating when a new version of the wallet is released?
Thanks, tip coming your way!

Many thanks for the feedback.
For 0.9.3 for 0.9.3 and 0.9.5 Lizhi used a new library to read qr-codes, which is not part of all distributions. By adding my opensuse repository to the sources list the library is added by apt-get from that one, so the dependencies are solved.
For new releases you just need to state the ‘apt-get update’ and apt-get install feathercoin’ to get the latest release. If you have the system configured for automatic updates you probably don’t need to do anything

After installing im getting
feathercoin-qt: command not found
please help

@twisterella
The feathercoin-qt binary should be in /usr/bin.you may need to use the command: ‘/usr/bin/feathercoin-qt’
If that doesn’t work, try to find the feathercoin-qt binary with the command ‘sudo find / -name feathercoin-qt’
If no feathercoin-qt is found, please post your exact operating system and version, so I can investigate on your problem
-
Any help to install feathercoin-cli ?? Thanks ;)
-
Hi Sherlock, did you get help on this?
I think it may have got lost, try clicking on the support sub thread and posting there. More chance someone will get an email notification that you have a problem…
-
@SherlockStd unfortunately feathercoin-cli is not in the package … yet.
I will change that as soon as I can.

I have just noticed your query, did you manage to solve your problem?

Just noting that, installing binaries thread is effectively a Feathercoin PPA
It would be a good idea to have a link to this thread, or link to a new FTC PPA page? A page that automatically adds the key reference …
A link to our “official” “PPA” build by Wellenreiter? or offers a link to the “Download” unofficial wallet builds for Linux distros it goes to now.

The feathercoin-qt files do not show up when I run the Linux PPA. My OS is Ubuntu 14.04. I have tried compiling the qt and it just core dumps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best deal with this issue in one place : Support

Hi,
In debian 8 (32bit) I’m able to have feathercoind but no feathercoin-qt (no file in /usr/bin).
Any clue ?
Thanks for you great job @Wellenreiter !

@Wellenreiter Can you update the OP with which Linux versions are supported. I thought you dropped Ubuntu 14.

@AmDD
There is a package from packager p_conrad. I’ve been in contact with him and verified, that he uses our github to create his packages, so for the time being we can leave Ubuntu 14.04 in, I think -
@wellenreiter
I recently installed debian 9 on a machine… anything for that yet?
As user I understand a lot of changes going on… I will try this on debian 8.
Thanks for your work,
Best!…less is more…
