##Florincoin Installation Instructions for Linux 64-bit (compiled for Ubuntu 14.04)

####1) Install Prerequisites sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev sudo apt-get install libdb5.3++-dev sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc8

####2) Download Florincoin wallet Click here to download the rar package. Unzip and install Florincoin-QT and/or florincoind. Launch either of the wallets and let it sync for a few minutes - you want to make sure that the directoty ~/.florincoin/ has been created, but you do not need to let the wallet fully sync (in fact you shouldn't, as you'll need to do so at a later step and it will start over from the beginning at that time) before exiting it.

####3) Enable RPC-access to your Florincoin-QT/florincoind wallet with a florincoin.conf file
Navigate to ~/.florincoin/

Create a new config file called florincoin.conf that includes the following code block (or use the provided sample file).

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.*.*
addnode=54.209.141.153
rpcport=18322
server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1

Remember, it is extremely important that you change the username and password to something secure. Store this username and password somewhere secure but retrievable, as you will need it to access wallet functions within Alexandria. Save florincoin.conf and relaunch the Florincoin-QT (or florincoind) wallet and let it fully sync. This may take a few hours (or a few days if your network is slow)

###Optional: bootstrap with IPFS Downloading the full Florincoin blockchain takes a while. If you have IPFS installed, you can speed this process up dramatically. To do this:

a.) Navigate to `~/.florincoin/' b.) Make sure your IPFS daemon is running, and run the following command: $ ipfs name resolve QmfYRn7eAHz9DtzCz8oVYjC6Y7geUSYBkz6iG3CVdb56W9 ipfs will output a hash. c.) copy hash, and paste into the command: $ ipfs get [copied hash] 4.) feel free to delete bootstrap.dat.old after the blockchain sync has finished.

####4) Send a comment!
Open your Alexandria browser, select Wallet from the user menu, and enter the username and password you used in your florincoin.conf file. You Alexandria browser now has access to your wallet, so you can send and receive Flo, you can use trade-bot to exchange BTC for FLO, and you can include comments with any tips you send to publishers!
