### Operating Systems: Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
- Download the [official binaries](https://getmonero.org/downloads/) or compile the last source available on [Github](https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Extract the files with the archive manager (same as Winzip on Windows). Note the path where the files "monerod" and "monero-wallet-cli" are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- You only need to do this step once : open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and install the required dependencies by typing : "*sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libevent-dev libdb++-dev*". When asked, press the Y key and then Enter to continue
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- This step is optional : download the [blockchain](https://getmonero.org/downloads/) and save it in "/home/yourUserName/.bitmonero/"
|
|
|
|
- Open a terminal and load the path where your binaries are extracted (cf. step 2) by typing : "*cd yourPathFromStep2*"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Load monerod by typing in your terminal : "*./monerod*". Wait for the synchronisation with the network (monerod is updating the blockchain you have downloaded in step 4 or is downloading it from scratch). This can take a lot of time the first time, so be patient
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Once monerod is synchronised with the network, open a new terminal, change the directory (cf. step 5), and launch monero-wallet-cli by typing "*./monero-wallet-cli*"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Enter the name you want for your portfolio and follow the instructions from the terminal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*This is your private key. Write it down and keep it in a safe place!*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*This is your view key. You need it to create a view only wallet (cf. associated user guide)*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*This is the address of your wallet*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- To exit monerod or monero-wallet-cli just type "*exit*" in the associated terminal
|
|
|
|
Now to access the portfolio you have just created you will have to launch monerod, wait for it to be synchronised with the network, launch monero-wallet-cli, and type the name of your portfolio and your password.
