The Bitcoind package is available in the universal repostories, you can add bitcoin PPA and then install bitcoind . This will give a stable version to you .
Dependencies
To get add-apt-repository, which we will use later to add the bitcoin PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoind
Configuration
Before starting bitcointd you'll want to create directory and the bitcoin.conf configuration file:
cd ~/
mkdir .bitcoin
cd .bitcoin
vim bitcoin.conf
In bitcoin.conf these content are important :
server=1
testnet=1
rpcuser=UNIQUE_RPC_USERNAME
rpcpassword=UNIQUE_RPC_PASSWORD
If you wish to use this installation on the regular bitcoin network, remove testnet=1
