Community SmartCash .deb Install Packages
I've created Debian install packages for both the 32bit & 64bit versions of the SmartCash Wallet available for the community. You can view the source code for these packages [on my GitHub](https://github.com/proteanx/smartcashdeb). The install packages add Desktop Menu support (see below) & make it much each easier for the Debian/Ubuntu users to install (and/or remove) the wallet binaries (provided by core team). I've also [provided a blockchain bootstrap up to Oct 19th](http://proteanx.com/smartcashblocksoct19.zip) and detailed installation instructions below. If you follow my tutorial you can have your SmartCash wallet not only installed but sync'd within 10 minutes!

Command Line Tutorial

Part 1 -

If you are doing a fresh install and not an upgrade please start here to include bootstrap!

Let's go to your home directory, create the .smartcash folder and enter it.

cd ~/
mkdir .smartcash
cd .smartcash

Now let's get you caught up on the blockchain (via my bootstrap)

If you don't have unzip already

  sudo apt-get install unzip

Now let's download the zipped bootstrap

wget 'http://proteanx.com/smartcashblocksoct19.zip'

(This may take a minute to download the 135mb zip)

Unzip the contents and remove the zip file

unzip smartcashblocksoct19.zip
rm smartcashblocksoct19.zip

You should now have 2 new folders in your .smartcash folder (blocks & chainstate). You're ready to move onto the install.

Part 2 Installing the SmartCash Debian Install Package

If you are just upgrading and/or adding menu support please start here and skip the bootstrap!

Let's download the appropriate package and install using dpkg

For 32-bit

cd ~/Downloads/
wget 'https://github.com/proteanx/smartcashdeb/releases/download/0.8.7.10/smartcash32_0.8.7.10.deb'
sudo dpkg -i smartcash32_0.8.7.10.deb

For 64-bit

cd ~/Downloads/
wget 'https://github.com/proteanx/smartcashdeb/releases/download/0.8.7.10/smartcash64_0.8.7.10.deb'
sudo dpkg -i smartcash64_0.8.7.10.deb

Your installation is now complete! You can now find the SmartCash Wallet in the 'Internet' section of your Desktop Menu or start the qt client by using the 'smartcash-qt' command in your terminal!

I'll definitely be writing more about SmartCash in the future but in the meantime if you would like to learn more about SmartCash please visit https://www.SmartCash.cc
