Things Needed:
- One Raspberry Pi
- A SD/Micro SD card with Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS or NOOBS installed on it
Here are the updated steps:
open the terminal (ctrl-alt-t will open it)
run
cat /etc/os-release
and look for(stretch)
or(buster)
. If you saw(jessie)
or(wheezy)
this won't currently work for you, but you can try and ask for help on one of the gridcoin community platforms listed on https://gridcoin.usgo to https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Research/releases/latest and scroll to where it says assets
If you want the graphical version, download the file with
gridcoinresearch-qt
andstretch
orbuster
(according to which one you saw in step 1) somewhere in there, and then ending witharmhf.deb
If you want a headless version (using only the terminal), download the file with
gridcoinresarchd
at the start andstretch
orbuster
(according to which one you saw in step 1) somewhere in there, and ending witharmhf.deb
transfer the file to your raspberry pi (or download it on your raspberry pi) and move the file to the desktop
look at the file name and modify this command accordingly,
sudo apt-get install -fy /home/pi/Desktop/[FILENAME]
if that fails try the running following:
sudo dpkg -i /home/pi/Desktop/[FILENAME]
(this will fail most likely, but run it anyway because it will be needed to get missing dependencies)
sudo apt-get -f install
(install missing dependencies)
then runsudo dpkg -i /home/pi/Desktop/[FILENAME]
again to install it now
Setup for the Gridcoin Wallet with Graphics:

Step Four: Installing the Gridcoin Wallet
Run the following commands depending on what you need:
sudo apt-get install gridcoinresearch-qt -y
for using a graphical interface
sudo apt-get install gridcoinresearchd -y
for running without a display (headless)
Setup for the Gridcoin Wallet with Graphics
run sudo gridcoinresearch
whenever you want to run the gridcoin wallet
when you first run it, it will create all the configuration files necessary
Setup for the Headless Gridcoin Wallet:
