-How to install Qortal on debian linux (ubuntu, mint, debian, debian-based distros.)
+**Please note:** after setting up your computer as a node, be sure to review the [[Port Forwarding]] guide to ensure your node functions optimally.
+=====New Method - Installing Qortal with the assistance of the Qortal UI =====
+====Step 1- Download the Qortal UI AppImage from qortal.org ====
+====Step 2 - Make the AppImage Executable (either right click it, properties, permissions, allow executing as a program checkbox) ====
+====Step 3 - Run the AppImage file ====
+===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. ===
+That's it, Qortal Core will start, bootstrap, and get synchronized, and you're good to go!
+===(additional optional visual improvments) ===
+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)
+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|]]
+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!
