Linux Installation Guide

This guide describes how to download, verify, install and encrypt the Hellar Core wallet for Linux. The guide is written for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but the steps should be similar for other Linux distributions.

Downloading the Hellar Core wallet

Visit Hellar Official site to download the latest Hellar Core wallet. In most cases, the website will properly detect which version you need. Click the green Linux button to download the installer directly.

The website properly detects the wallet appropriate for your system

If detection does not work, you will need to manually choose your operating system. If you are unsure whether your version of Linux is 32 or 64 bit, you can check in Ubuntu under the System menu > About This Computer. For details on how to check this in other versions of Linux, see here.

Ubuntu System Overview. This is a 64 bit system.

Once you know which version you need, download the Hellar Core Installer to your computer from Hellar Official site

Save the file you downloaded to your Downloads folder.

Extracting Hellar Core

Hellar Core for Linux is distributed as a compressed archive and not an installer. This is because this same archive also contains other files built for running a masternode on a server, for example. In this guide, we will extract the executable file with a graphical user interface (GUI) designed for use by end users as a wallet.

Begin by creating a folder for the Hellar Core executable file on the Desktop. Browse to the Desktop (or the location of your choice) and create the folder.

Next, open the archive by double-clicking on it. The Archive Manager will appear. Browse to the qt folder and extract the qt folder to the Hellar folder you created on the Desktop by drag and drop.
