-How to install Qortal on debian linux (ubuntu, mint, debian, etc.)
+**Please note:** after setting up your computer as a node, be sure to review the [[Port Forwarding]] guide to ensure your node functions optimally.
+How to install Qortal on Linux (ubuntu, mint, debian, debian-based distros.)
 (Input each command with enter after them.)
 (any time the terminal asks for a password, it is your OS user password, it won't SHOW the password as you input it, just input it and push enter.)
 (all commands are run from terminal.)
 pre-setup, you should update your apt repo -
-sudo apt update
-. Install Java -
+<code>sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade</code>
+. Install Java, and Unzip-
-<code> sudo apt install default-jre </code>
+<code> sudo apt install default-jre && sudo apt install unzip</code>
-and install 'unzip' to extract archives in terminal:
+. Download the Qortal Core zip extract, make scripts executable, and run start.sh - https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.zip - you can also do this with wget from terminal, like this (triple-click to select entire code line, copy and paste into terminal and push enter):
-<code> sudo apt install unzip </code>
+This command will download the zip, extract it, make the scripts executable and start the Qortal Core. You will see it pop up with the splash screen telling you it is downloading and extracting the bootstrap, then it will run on the taskbar.
-. Download the Qortal Core zip - https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.zip - you can also do this with wget from terminal, like this:
+<code> wget https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.zip && unzip qortal.zip && cd qortal && chmod +x *.sh && ./start.sh </code>
-<code> wget https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.zip </code>
+. Download and install the Qortal UI appimage installer - https://github.com/Qortal/qortal-ui/releases/latest/download/Qortal-Setup-amd64.AppImage - you can also download this with wget from terminal like this:
-. Download the Qortal UI debian installer - https://github.com/Qortal/UI/releases/latest/download/qortal-ui_amd64.deb - you can also download this with wget from terminal like this:
+<code> cd && cd Desktop && curl -L -O https://github.com/Qortal/qortal-ui/releases/latest/download/Qortal-Setup-amd64.AppImage && mv Qortal-Setup*.AppImage Qortal-UI && chmod +x Qortal-UI </code>
-<code> wget https://github.com/Qortal/UI/releases/latest/download/qortal-ui_amd64.deb </code>
+We recommend the AppImage version as it offers auto updates (which can be declined by the user if desired). Qortal will start, you'll see a splash screen telling you it is downloading and extracting the bootstrap for you, then it will run 'in the background' on the taskbar with a Q icon. The icon will be RED when you're not fully synchronized, and BLUE when you are.
-. Extract the Qortal Core zip -
-unzip qortal.zip - if you downloaded with wget, it will be already in your home folder, if you downloaded with the browser, you will first need to move the file to the home folder like this:
-<code> mv Downloads/qortal.zip </code>
+. Run the Qortal UI app that is now installed on your system. Run through the account creation process in the Qortal UI, to create your Qortal account. Be sure you use a password you will remember, and save the backup file in multiple locations. This is the only way you can access your account from any other computer, or if your computer fails. Be very sure you have multiple copies of this.
-The mv command is only needed if you downloaded with browser, and not with wget.
-. Change to newly created qortal directory, make scripts executable, and start Qortal:
-<code>cd qortal
-chmod +x *.sh
-./start.sh </code>
-Qortal will start, you'll see a splash screen telling you it is downloading and extracting the bootstrap for you, then it will run 'in the background' on the taskbar with a Q icon. The icon will be RED when you're not fully synchronized, and BLUE when you are.
-. Install Qortal UI - the 'easiest' way is with terminal. If you used wget to download the files, then it will be in your home directory, if not, it will be in your Downloads folder.
-<code> sudo dpkg -i qortal-ui*.deb </code>
-If the file isn't in your home folder and you downloaded with a browser, you can do this instead:
-<code> sudo dpkg -i Downloads/qortal-ui*.deb </code>
-. Run the Qortal UI app that is now installed on your system. Run through the account creation process in the Qortal UI, to create your Qortal account. Be sure you use a password you will remember, and save the backup file in multiple locations. This is the only way you can access your account from any other computer, or if your computer fails. Be very sure you have multiple copies of this.
 Once you have created your account and your node is synchronized, if you would like to become a minter, simply ask in Qortal chat or Q-Chat and let people know where you heard of Qortal.

 **From MeadMan:** This is the basics of installing the core and UI on Linux from the command line. I use Kubuntu and these instructions work on most Ubuntu derivatives. If you are running some other distro document whatever you do during install and I'll update.
