GreenCoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. GreenCoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. GreenCoin is also the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the GreenCoin client software, see http://greencoin.life

Windows - https://github.com/CryptorClub/GreenCoin/raw/master/greencoin-qt-windows.zip
Linux\Ubuntu - https://github.com/CryptorClub/GreenCoin/raw/master/greencoin-qt-linux.tar.gz
Use the following instructions
Update your Ubuntu machine.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Install the dependencies to compile from source code.
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libboost-dev git libssl1.0.0-dbg
sudo apt-get install libdb-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev libminiupnpc-dev libevent-dev libcrypto++-dev libgmp3-dev
Create a directory for the source code.
git clone https://github.com/CryptorClub/GreenCoin.git
Go to the src directory of your source code.
mv GreenCoin source_code
cd source_code/src
mkdir obj
Execute the following command to compile the daemon.
make -f makefile.unix RELEASE=1
The compiling will take about 30 minutes depending on your system. Required 2GB+ of RAM memory
Your compiled daemon named greencoind can be found in the src folder when compiling is finished.
On Ubuntu 16.04 Move compiled daemon to your Home folder and follow instruction
mv greencoind $HOME
On Ubuntu 14.04 You do not need compile daemon, just download and untar
wget https://github.com/CryptorClub/GreenCoin/raw/master/greencoin-daemon-linux.tar.gz
tar -xzvf greencoin-daemon-linux.tar.gz
Install the daemon.
chmod +x greencoind
sudo mv greencoind /usr/bin/
Create the config file.
mkdir $HOME/.greencoin
nano $HOME/.greencoin/greencoin.conf
Paste the following lines in greencoin.conf.
rpcuser=rpc_greencoin
rpcpassword=69c863e3356d3dae95df454a1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when they think their feature or bug fix is ready.
If it is a simple/trivial/non-controversial change, then one of the GreenCoin development team members simply pulls it.
If it is a more complicated or potentially controversial change, then the patch submitter will be asked to start a discussion (if they haven't already) on the mailing list.
The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a good thing.
Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches if the code doesn't
match the project's coding conventions (see doc/coding.md) or are
controversial.
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of GreenCoin.
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test. Please be patient and help out, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code.
Unit tests for the core code are in src/test/. To compile and run them:
cd src; make -f makefile.unix test
Unit tests for the GUI code are in src/qt/test/. To compile and run them:
qmake BITCOIN_QT_TEST=1 -o Makefile.test greencoin-qt.pro
make -f Makefile.test
./greencoin-qt_test
Every pull request is built for both Windows and Linux on a dedicated server, and unit and sanity tests are automatically run. The binaries produced may be used for manual QA testing — a link to them will appear in a comment on the pull request posted by GreenCoinPullTester. See https://github.com/TheBlueMatt/test-scripts for the build/test scripts.
Large changes should have a test plan, and should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code.
See https://github.com/CryptorClub/GreenCoin/ for how to create a test plan.
