For Windows, we decided to only support 64-bit installations of Windows. If you are running a 32-bit installation, please let us know by reporting an issue to survey the market demand.

For Linux, we decided to use the new AppImage installer format. This is included in a lot of Linux distributions, including Ubuntu.
Download the latest linux-x86_64.AppImage from the releases page.
Open a terminal, navigate to the download folder and make the .AppImage an executeable with the following command:
$ chmod a+x Blockcore.*.AppImage
Then you can simply run the installer:
$ ./Blockcore.*.AppImage
