4.4 Binary installation

Zen maintains an APT repository at https://github.com/ZencashOfficial/repo that is updated shortly after each release. We provide packages for amd64 and arm64, the following distributions are currently supported:

Debian:

Jessie (8)
Stretch (9)
Buster (10)

Ubuntu (preferred versions, intermediate non-LTS versions are also supported):

Xenial (16.04 LTS)
Bionic (18.04 LTS)
Disco (19.04)

Linux Mint 17.*, 18.* and LMDE 2

To install using APT:

sudo apt-get update \
&& sudo apt-get -y install apt-transport-https lsb-release \
&& echo 'deb https://zencashofficial.github.io/repo/ '$(lsb_release -cs)' main' | \
sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zen.list \
&& gpg --keyserver ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net \
--recv 219F55740BBF7A1CE368BA45FB7053CE4991B669 \
&& gpg --export 219F55740BBF7A1CE368BA45FB7053CE4991B669 | sudo apt-key add - \
&& sudo apt-get update \
&& sudo apt-get -y install zen

Additional steps for Ubuntu Trusty/Linux Mint 17.*:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test \
&& sudo apt-get update \
&& sudo apt-get install g++-4.9 \
&& sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 40 \
&& sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cpp cpp /usr/bin/cpp-4.9 40 \
&& sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.9 40

Then download the trusted setup, add a config and run zend:

zen-fetch-params
mkdir -p ~/.zen
echo "rpcuser=zenuser" > ~/.zen/zen.conf
echo "rpcpassword=`head -c 32 /dev/urandom | base64`" >> ~/.zen/zen.conf
zend
