A hopefully helpful description of how to complete the final project for the Coursera "Blockchain Basics" course. Includes installing VirtualBox with a Linux vm and running Ethereum nodes. I'm running Linux 18.04 that I installed dual boot on a Windows laptop.
This should be a link to the course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/blockchain-basics/home/info
A lot of the purpose here is to gain facility with GitHub, but also I've noticed support for this course is almost non-existent. It took a few tries, mostly because I jumped into things. I had to uninstall re-install a few times. Instructions for that will be included.
