Bitcoin wallet for Ubuntu

I thought that installing such app could be easily done through Ubuntu Software Center, unfortunately it is not the case.

, though it’s written a little bit less straightforward than (I think) it should.

1) edit sources list:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

and add to the very end of the file (these settings are for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS – codename Precise):

# bitcoin project repository
deb precise main
deb-src precise main

2) Add signing keys:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

3) Update your repository

sudo apt-get update

4) Install bitcoin-qt

sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

5) Run bitcoin-qt from Terminal or search for it in Dash home (that app on the left desktop toolbar with Ubuntu symbol on it)
