NOTE - At the time of writing (31st August 2016), the PPAs are broken, following significant repository reorganizations and a change of automation process. We have not hooked the PPA generation steps back together yet, though this will happen in the very near future. In the meantime, please follow the :ref:`Building Linux from source` instructions.
We have set up PPA instances for the following Ubuntu versions:
- Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (14.04)
- Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn (14.10)
- Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (15.04)
- Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (15.10)
- Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (16.04)
We only support 64-bit builds. It may be possible to get the client working for Ubuntu 32-bit, by building from source and disabling EVMJIT and maybe other features too. We might accept pull-requests to add such support, but we will not put any of our development time into supporting Ubuntu 32-bit builds.
For the latest stable version:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install cpp-ethereum
If you want to use the cutting edge developer version:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum-dev sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install cpp-ethereum
