Currently no user-friendly installer for any platform. #117

Open DarkLinkXXXX opened 11 years ago

There is currently no user-friendly gui installer for any platform. As is, open-trasactions is still experimental, so maybe for now we want to keep it only developer friendly. However, I believe that if this project is ever to gain traction, either an install for unix and windows is needed, or a cross platform install (lzpack seems good at that).

There is a package for gentoo in the bitcoin overlay https://gitorious.org/bitcoin/gentoo/trees/master/app-crypt/opentxs

USE="git" emerge -u layman && layman -a bitcoin && emerge -av opentxs

Of course, that's not very user-friendly...

Yeah, it is pretty significant that we get a user friendly installer. Takes forever to get the pre-requites and install only to find it doesn't work. Would appreciate it if this was finally be distributed.
