-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. 
-(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+
  
-1. Install Java - +===== Installing Qortal via CHD's 'rebuilt-machine.sh' script ===== 
 +Note - This script does more than simply install Qortal, it sets up an entirely customized installation, desktop environment, custom icon theme, and more.
  
-<code> sudo apt install default-jre </code> +1. Open the Terminal, and input the following command, then push ENTER.
-  +
-and install 'unzip' to extract archives in terminal: +
  
-<code> sudo apt install unzip </code>+<code>cd && wget https://gitea.qortal.link/crowetic/QORTector-scripts/raw/branch/main/rebuilt-machine.sh && chmod +x rebuilt-machine.sh && ./rebuilt-machine.sh </code>
  
-2. 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:+2. Input your login password when requested (you will not see anything being typed in while inputting passwords in the terminal) then sit back and relax as your computer becomes a customized Qortal machine!
  
-<code> wget https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.zip </code>+=====Installing Qortal with the assistance of the (legacy) Qortal UI =====
  
-3. 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:+====Step 1- Download the Qortal UI AppImage from qortal.org ==== 
  
-<code> wget https://github.com/Qortal/UI/releases/latest/download/Qortal-Setup-amd64.deb </code>+====Step 2 - Make the AppImage Executable (either right click it, properties, permissions, allow executing as a program checkbox) ====
  
-4. Extract the Qortal Core zip -  +====Step 3 - Run the AppImage file ====
-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>+===Say YES to installing Java, if your machine doesn't have Java installed, it will download and use a portable Java installation. Say YES to download the Qortal Core. ===
  
-The mv command is only needed if you downloaded with browser, and not with wget.+That's it, Qortal Core will start, bootstrap, and get synchronized, and you're good to go!
  
-5. Change to newly created qortal directory, make scripts executable, and start Qortal: +===(additional optional visual improvments) ===
  
-<code>cd qortal +If you would like to have your Qortal-UI be named Qortal-UI, simply rename the AppImage file to Qortal-UI. (you do not need to keep the .AppImage extension) 
-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.+If you would like to have the logo attached to the Qortal-UI, right click the file, properties, click the 'blank logo' icon, and browse for the qortal.ico file. It can be found in [[official_images_press_kit|]]
  
-6. 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.+You may also create 'launchers' so that the Qortal-UI will be in the menu, if you wish to do this, go to your menu editor, and create a new item, call it Qortal UI, then browse to the Qortal-UI AppImage file, attach the logo, and create. That's it!
  
-<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>+=====Old/Manual Method - install Qortal-UI and Qortal Core=====
  
-7. 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.+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 -  
 + 
 +<code>sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade</code> 
 + 
 +1. Install Java, and Unzip-  
 + 
 +<code> sudo apt install default-jre unzip</code> 
 +  
 +2. 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): 
 + 
 +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. 
 + 
 +<code> wget https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.zip && unzip qortal.zip && cd qortal && chmod +x *.sh && ./start.sh </code> 
 + 
 +3. 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: 
 + 
 +<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> 
 + 
 +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. 
 + 
 + 
 +4. 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. 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.

-<code>7za  x  ./db.7z</code>
