Linux

The guide is written for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, but the steps should be similar for other Linux distributions.

  • Create a new folder named TWINS and extract the contents of the downloaded compressed wallet file to this folder.

  • Now to run the wallet open terminal and navigate to the TWINS folder you created. For example if you have created the TWINS folder in the home directory you can go there by typing: cd ~/TWINS

  • Now start the TWINS wallet by typing : ./twins-qt

  • The first time the program is launched, you will be asked where you want to store your blockchain and wallet data. Choose a location with enough free space as the files can take much space as the blockchain grows. It is recommended to use the default data folder if possible.

  • Initial startup might take a minute and once started wait for the wallet to fully synchronise before you start using. When the synchronisation is complete you will see a small green icon lighting up at the bottom right corner in your wallet.
