Install Process

Discription

I made an easier to use install script for linux (ubuntu 14.04 server), i think it will work on other platforms
so this please give it a try on other platforms to see if the code breaks.

how to use

Windows: On your desktop create a file called

install.sh

inside the file paste the code
save the file

install.sh
Save as type "All Files (.)
Save

Transfer the file to your Linux computers home folder

open terminal

$ cd ~
$ ls

you should get

install.sh

if not try to put the file in this directory.

now type

sudo bash install.sh

You will get this text

IPFS Installer Script : Enter 'x32' or 'x64'

enter x32 if your sys is 32bit or x64 for 64bit

x64

If all went well you should see

Installing the x64 vision of IPFS...

Hello,

thanks for your contribution.

Note that much of this functionality is already provided by ipfs-update.

[Pastyguy]

If I may ask how do you use ipfs update.
Ie install for Linux 64bit?

[hsanjuan]

Sure, you can either go get as shown here: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-update#install

or download the tar.gz I linked above, untar and place the binary in /usr/local/bin or simply run the install.sh script.

Then:
