Unable to install/run the bitshares_client on Linux

then close the file and say safe.

"say safe"??

save = confirm the changes you made the the previously empty file

"say safe"??

[santaclause102]

create a new file (new file is a new text file by standard (in ubuntu at least)) and write the folwoing into it:

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/ENTER-NAME-OFYOUR-LINUXUSERACCOUNT-HERE/bitshares/programs/qt_wallet/bin
./BitShares

this bit "/home/ENTER-NAME-OFYOUR-LINUXUSERACCOUNT-HERE/" might be different with mint.

then rename the file into Bitshares.sh

then close the file and say safe.

then double click on it and say execute.

then you choose a password (safe/remember it!).

if you are in the client go to the right top where you see a drop down menu that get you to the advanced settings. then you click on console. then you type "info". You can check the field "blockchain_head_blockage" and see how many seconds/hours/weeks you are being the synced status. You are synced when you are below 11 seconds.
To get synced just leave the client open (with or without having the password entered).

I followed the steps here too:
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/blob/master/BUILD_UBUNTU.md
 
It compiled ok I guess, took about 30minutes, but it made it all the way through to 100% completion and gave me a prompt again so now what doI do so I can run bitshares for the first time and setup/fund an account?
 
Thanx in advance

could you guys try to open the binary in a terminal and copy&paste the result?

mama@mama-pc ~ $ cd Downloads
mama@mama-pc ~/Downloads $ bitshares_client
bitshares_client: command not found
mama@mama-pc ~/Downloads $ ^C
mama@mama-pc ~/Downloads $

I was trying to install it on linux mint today and failed as well, both trying to run it in Wine and installing from the terminal.

i'm a linux newb, been using it for about a year and a half now, whenever i grab a new app i just use the software manager to do it. Obviously bitshares does not exist in the software manager so I am gonna try this via the bitshares website tar.gz, so here it goes:
 
1. Downloaded "bitsharesGUI-0.6.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz"
2. Extracted it
3. double-clicked on the app/executable "bitshares_client"
now what? nothing happens.
 
sad to say i was a windoze guy, but happily a linux mint guy now, decided to get rid of all m$ products. it made for an easy transition for my family too since mint was so similar to windoze. anyhooz..
 
i even cmd lined it, checked the perms everything is fine there i guess, i have admin rights. still, nothing happens, bitshares_client won't start.
 
Can anyone help me install bitshares on linux? I really would like to get my account setup tonight and dump some fiat into bts immediately before the price jumps.
PLEEEEEZE
