We've published our official Qtum repository on this repository supports the following distributions:
8.x (Jessie)
9.x (stretch)
12x (Bookworm)
Testing (Trixie)
Unstable (Sid)
16.04 - 24.04
Tested on Centos 7, 8 and Fedora 30. Other releases should work fine as well.
More distributions will be added in the future, this document will be updated to reflect those changes.
This tutorial assumes you have a basic knowledge of Linux and terminal usage, the entire process uses the Linux terminal.
First, we need to obtain the Qtum signing key from the ubuntu keyserver, here's how:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys BF5B197D
This will download and add the Qtum signing key to your linux install.
echo "deb https://repo.qtum.info/apt/ubuntu/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" |sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qtum.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install qtum
By doing this, we'll update our sources and install Qtum on our ubuntu Box
First, we need to make sure sudo is installed:
Type sudo su and press enter, if you get a password prompt, then you can move on to obtaining the public key
Obtain admin privileges (su to root) and then type your admin user (root) password
Once you're logged in as "root" please type the following: apt-get install sudo
When sudo finishes installing, add your user to the sudo group: gpasswd -a youruser sudo Logout and then log in again.
These two packages are needed to enable the Qtum repository on Debian, let's install them:
apt install -y apt-transport-https dirmngr
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys BF5B197D
This downloads and installs the Qtum public key
sudo su - Sudo to root first
echo "deb https://repo.qtum.info/apt/debian/ buster main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qtum.list
This will add the repository to your APT sources file. NOTE: Please remember to change "stretch" for your Debian version codename <!--(for instance, Debian 8.x codename is jessie, in this case you need to replace stretch for jessie)-->
sudo apt update && sudo apt install qtum
By doing this, we'll update our sources and install Qtum on our debian Box
These are the steps you need to take to install Qtum in a RPM-based distribution
Install the public key for the RPM repository:
sudo rpm --import https://rpmrepo.qtum.info/key.asc
Add the Qtum repository:
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://rpmrepo.qtum.info/
sudo yum update
sudo yum install qtum
You can also use dnf to install Qtum on Fedora and distributions that support it.
You can install Qtum using the source files, but this will take a long time to compile from source. In most cases, we recommend using the binary release with: yay qtum-core-bin
This will bring up a dialog where you need to confirm that you want to install the above mentioned package, press "1" to confirm .
Launching is simple, we just go to our applications menu and scrolldown/search for qtum
To install on arch, the easiest way is to use "yay"
