Help needed to install Linux version of the bittube wallet please

I use Linux but I am no expert.

I am trying to install the bittube wallet on Linux from
https://github.com/ipbc-dev/bittube-wallet-gui/releases

I did on fresh Ubuntu install
1) downloaded zip and unzipped two files
2) from terminal tried to run the gui wallet file with ./
3) Got error could not find shared file so then managed to download it with apt get
4) Tried to run again and got other shared file that I could not find with apt get
5) Not been able to find instructions or help from bittube as all on telegram and I am not.

Could someone here please try and then help. I would install any free Linux distribution to get it to work.

this doesn't make any sense to me.
please clarify, be precise, show us all the commands & output.

always tell us which distro you use.

read the readme:
https://github.com/ipbc-dev/bittube-wallet-gui
and tell us how the instructions therein failed.

you are aware that what you are trying to use is just a gui frontend for the actual bittube implementation?

Ok thanks,

The readme is for compiling from source, although I could get the dependencies it mentions.
I will try and get those dependencies and if still fails will also try compile from source as per instructions.

And will let you know.

I was using ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso

I was unable to get the dependencies using the readme instructions. I am using ubuntu 18.04.01. The bittube-wallet-gui should be a crypto wallet for TUBE currency. The bittubed should be the thing that syncs the blockchain. On the windows version you need only to double click the bittube-wallet-gui, but running that on linux seems not to work for me.

Please see following what I tried in terminal after unzipping the two files in the release for Linux:

To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

you neeed to fix this first.
it has nothing to do with bittube.
is another process trying to update system? do you have a gui software manager open atm? something else?
if you are 100% sure that the answer is NO to all questions, you can manually delete the file, and try again.

but even then, you still don't have all the required dependencies:

error while loading shared libraries: libunbound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I installed fresh using vmware. Downloaded zip unzipped to new folder on the desktop.

Perhaps due to Firefox still running or perhaps due to using vmware to host Linux. Perhaps I need to restart Linux first.

I will retry.

I could after restart solve lock issue.
Many other issues on trying to run and trying to compile source there was many errors.

I think I will have to go back to running the wallet in Windows unless I get some step by step instructions that work. Shame as I wanted my wallets working in Linux for extra security, but the installation is too hard for my level of Linux knowledge.

I have also had trouble with compiling this bittube-wallet.

At first, I tried to install the windows version on a windows machine but my anti-virus flagged and blocked it as a malware. So for extra security, I thought to install the linux compile source code on a fresh ubuntu Linux hp-notebook 4.15.0-36-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP (as reported by uname -a).

I followed the github compile instructions by first installing via apt install the list of dependencies for ubuntu. Next I installed via apt install the suggested qt packages, and finally also installed the optional packages listed for the scanner option.

I noticed that there were several "not found" items mentioned during the configuration and compile.

Then it finishes with:

when this all gave errors and quit, I decided to try the precompiled executable but was worried about the possibility of included malware. So i renamed the source code version to bitube-wallet-gui-old so that I could go back to that if I needed to and then tried it.
There was a 7 megabyte Linux pre-compiled? zip file so when after unzipping it, created the bittubed and bittube-wallet-gui.

Performing a ./bittube-wallet-gui on the executable gives this error:

root@hp-notebook:/home/hp/Downloads# ls -l total 31388 -rwxr-xr-x 1 hp hp 10039224 Jul 13 10:29 bittubed -rwxr-xr-x 1 hp hp 13769192 Jul 13 10:29 bittube-wallet-gui -rw-rw-r-- 1 hp hp 8323158 Oct 16 02:59 bittube-wallet-gui-linux-x64-v2.0.0.4.zip drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Oct 16 04:01 bittube-wallet-gui-old root@hp-notebook:/home/hp/Downloads# ./bittube-wallet-gui ./bittube-wallet-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_serialization.so.1.62.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

With the executable not working, the source code not working, and the windows version giving me fits about a malware, I am not sure what to think at this point.

I see that my first post got lost in moderation somewhere. perhaps it will show up somewhere / sometime?

root@hp-notebook:/home/hp/Downloads# ./bittubed ./bittubed: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_chrono.so.1.62.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is the error when trying to execute ./bittubed

kenssurplus, are you asking a question there?

Well, I had added a rather in depth report of my failed attempts at the three different install methods. But that original post said it needed moderator approval before it would show up, so it looks as though I will have to redo those appempts if I want to share the errors and efforts.
