# Installation
|
|
|
|
Head over to the releases page and grab the latest installers or binary. https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zec-qt-wallet/releases
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
If you are on Debian/Ubuntu, please download the `.deb` package and install it.
|
|
```
|
|
sudo dpkg -i linux-deb-zec-qt-wallet-v0.5.4.deb
|
|
sudo apt install -f
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or you can download and run the binaries directly.
|
|
```
|
|
tar -xvf zec-qt-wallet-v0.5.4.tar.gz
|
|
./zec-qt-wallet-v0.5.4/zec-qt-wallet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
Download and run the .msi installer and follow the prompts. Alternately, you can download the release binary, unzip it and double click on zec-qt-wallet to start.
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
Double-click on the .dmg file to open it, and drag zec-qt-wallet on to the Applications link to install.
|
|
|
|
## zcashd
|
|
zec-qt-wallet needs a Zcash node running zcashd. If you already have a zcashd node running, zec-qt-wallet will connect to it.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have one, zec-qt-wallet will start its embedded zcashd node.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, if this is the first time you're running zec-qt-wallet or a zcashd daemon, zec-qt-wallet will download the zcash params (~1.7 GB) and configure `zcash.conf` for you.
|
|
|
|
Pass `--no-embedded` to disable the embedded zcashd and force zec-qt-wallet to connect to an external node.
|
|
|
|
## Compiling from source
|
|
zec-qt-wallet is written in C++ 14, and can be compiled with g++/clang++/visual c++. It also depends on Qt5, which you can get from [here](https://www.qt.io/download). Note that if you are compiling from source, you won't get the embedded zcashd by default. You can either run an external zcashd, or compile zcashd as well.

nmake

debug\zec-qt-wallet.exe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To create the Visual Studio project files so you can compile and run from Visual Studio:
|
|
```
|

c:\Qt5\bin\qmake.exe zec-qt-wallet.pro -tp vc CONFIG+=debug
