Notes

WalletShell relies on HIT-service to manage wallet container & rpc communication.

Release installer & packaged archives includes a ready to use HIT-service binary, which is unmodified copy TurtleCoin release archive.

On first launch, WalletShell will try to detect location/path of bundled HIT-service binary, but if autodetection failed, you can manually set path to the HIT-service binary on the Settings screen.

If you don't trust the bundled HIT-service file, you can compare the checksum (sha256sum) against one from the official release, or simply download and use the binary from official HITC release, which is available here: https://github.com/HITHELPINSURANCETRUST/HIT/releases. Then, make sure to update your HIT-service path setting.

Download & Run WalletShell

Windows:

  1. Download the latest installer here: https://github.com/HITHELPINSURANCETRUST/hitc-wallet-electron/releases
  2. Run the installer (walletshell-<version>-win-setup.exe) and follow the installation wizard.
  3. Launch WalletShell via start menu or desktop shortcut.

GNU/Linux (AppImage):

  1. Download latest AppImage bundle here: https://github.com/HITHELPINSURANCETRUST/hitc-wallet-electron/releases
  2. Make it executable, either via GUI file manager or command line, e.g. chmod +x walletshell-<version>-linux.AppImage

Build

You need to have Node.js and npm installed, go to https://nodejs.org and find out how to get it installed on your platform.

Once you have Node+npm installed:

# first, download wallet-api binary for each platform
# from HITC official repo
# https://github.com/HITHELPINSURANCETRUST/HIT/releases
# extract the HIT-service executable somewhere

# clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/HITHELPINSURANCETRUST/hitc-wallet-electron
$ cd hitc-wallet-electron

# install dependencies
$ npm install

# create build+dist directory
$ mkdir -p ./build && mkdir -p ./dist

# copy/symlink icons from assets, required for packaging
$ cp ./src/assets/icon.* ./build/

# build GNU/Linux package
$ mkdir -p ./bin/lin
$ cp /path/to/linux-version-of/HIT-service ./bin/lin/
$ npm run dist-lin

# build Windows package
$ mkdir -p ./bin/win
$ cp /path/to/win-version-of/HIT-service ./bin/win/
