This looks a neat programme for managing cryptocurrency on Linux

I've been using Ubuntu for 3 or 4 years, used the terminal parrot fashion for various functions and installs, but have v. little knowledge.

Does anyone think this would run on Ubuntu and if so, how could I install it?

Or is there a better solution?

Thanks

Exodus co-founder here... You can place the folder wherever you like. We recommend just dropping it in your home directory. You can then run Exodus by just double-clicking on the Exodus program or by running it directly from the terminal: ./Exodus.

Long-term, we'll probably offer a .deb so that it can easily be installed in the proper location. Also, note that it'll only run on 64-bit Linux.

  • Thanks you so much for your replies, sounds straightforward. Looking forward to it. Andrew – Andrew M May 07 '17 at 21:18
  • I put the folder in the home directory and the exodus program icon doesn't work. – Dale Nov 16 '17 at 00:27
  • Any time frame for that .deb? A ppa would also be great. – guttermonk May 26 '18 at 13:48
  • No ETA yet - but the topic does come up during our development meetings. It just came up a few days ago. The general plan is to nail down the UX and ship in-app opt-in auto-updates first, then we'll revisit this. A lot of our employees are Linux users so there is strong internal championing of Linux packaging. – JP Richardson May 27 '18 at 15:32
  • Firstly, thanks for such a solid wallet! I have a bash script that I use to install everything on my Ubuntu dev machine (regularly cycled), so was wondering whether you guys have a terminal command to grab the latest build rather than downloading it each time? Thanks a lot for your great work :) Rob – Rob Hendricks Sep 10 '20 at 11:24
  • @RobHendricks thanks for the kind words. We don't have a command for this, but you could whip one up pretty easily and create a cron job. 1. Set your cron job to monitor https://updates.exodus.io/releases/feed/darwin.json for the latest version. I realize this is for macOS, but we release all platforms at the same time. 2. You'll get the version from this file. Then download the linux deb e.g. https://downloads.exodus.io/releases/exodus_20.9.11_amd64.deb 3. Download the hash file. e.g. https://downloads.exodus.io/releases/hashes-exodus-20.9.11.txt 4. Check hash and install. – JP Richardson Sep 11 '20 at 19:30
  • ^^ -- for extra security, you could add the GPG key to your keyring and verify that the hashes file is actually published from us. Also, if you create a script to do all of this, please share :) – JP Richardson Sep 11 '20 at 19:31

This'll cover you for install (and update if you Cron as discussed above)... Wanted to add this as a reply to @JP Richards, but I'm not with enough reps yet (help a brother out, guys) :)

https://github.com/robotard/ExodusUpdater/

Grab the exodus.sh file, and 'sudo ./exodus.sh'...

It will always check if you have the latest or any version installed, and download and install the most recent .deb :)
