Building and installation
Building for Linux
If you prefer to compile your own binaries then you need development packages:
sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev
And git as well, of course:
sudo apt-get install git
After installation completed you can clone Novacoin repository
git clone https://github.com/novacoin-project/novacoin.git
and finally, build your client
cd novacoin qmake RELEASE=1 USE_UPNP=1 USE_O3=1 make cd src make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=1 STATIC=1 USE_O3=1
Building for Windows

Installation on Windows
Download the latest NovaCoin Client here.
There are two options available:
- Use installer executable;
- Use zipball.
If you are using installer executable then the default installation path will be C:\Program Files (x86)\NovaCoin for 32 bit client under 64 bit version of WIndows, or C:\Program Files\NovaCoin otherwise.
If you've chosen zip archive then just extract client executables into preferred location.
Installation on Linux
If you are using linux operating system you have a few possible ways to get Novacoin client working.
- Use pmconrad's packages;
- Use binaries tarball (Ubuntu/ARM);
- Use portage (Gentoo);
- Compile client by yourself.
If you want to use binary tarball then you need to install Qt library first.
Debian-like distros:sudo apt-get install libqtgui4RPM distros:
yum install libqtgui4
