Latest Bitcoin-qt software can be downloaded from https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.2.1/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.9.2.1/ for any operating system.
Installation guide in ubuntu:
- Add the Repository: $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
- Update: $ sudo apt-get update
- install: $ sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
The simplest way to start from scratch with the command line client, automatically syncing blockchain and creating a wallet, is to just run this command (without arguments) from the directory containing your bitcoind binary: (A GUI Interface will be provided to interect with wallet)
./bitcoin-qt
By default Bitcoin-qt starts execution in production mode. Although we also can run wallet software in Test Mode, using this:
./bitcoin-qt -testnet
And After these easy steps you have a running Wallet on your computer System.
