Litecoin RPMs for RHEL6 ← HamzahKhan's Blog

I have been playing with cryptocurrencies for a while now, and wanted to run litecoind on my server.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find RPMs for RHEL/Fedora, so I decided to create some.

I used ‘s Bitcoin RPM spec files as a template (it’s pretty much a direct rip off :)). My RPM makes use of his *-compat-bitcoin packages, so you will need his repo setup as a prerequisite.

To be honest, I’m running Litecoin on a headless system, so I haven’t tested litecoin-qt, and the packaging for litecoin-qt isn’t “complete” either as I haven’t put in the desktop icons etc.

I have only built the RPMs for RHEL6 x86_64, but it shouldn’t be hard to build on i386 if you need to, and it should work for Fedora too, but again, I haven’t tested it as I don’t need it.

Easiest way to install would be:
cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/hk-litecoin.repo < EOF
[litecoin-x86_64]
name = Litecoin RPMs
baseurl =
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 1
gpgkey =
metadata_expire = 86400
EOF

# for a headless system
yum install litecoin-server

# for a graphical system
yum install litecoin

I do plan on cleaning these up, and building properly, and putting it in a proper repository etc (I do have one! but it has things I don’t want to release publicly!), but I will do that later. For now I have created a, so if anyone else wants to improve these RPMs, please do so!
