Now that Purism accepts Monero payments through globee I am interested in using Monero on a Librem laptop which runs PureOS.

What are the installation steps (including necessary dependencies) required to install the official Monero GUI on PureOS?

PureOS is based on Debian, so you can follow the instructions on this page (follow the Ubuntu and Mint path):

https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui

  1. Install Monero dependencies For Ubuntu and Mint

sudo apt install build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev miniupnpc libunbound-dev graphviz doxygen libunwind8-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libzmq3-dev

  1. Grab an up-to-date copy of the monero-gui repository

git clone https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui.git

  1. Go into the repository

cd monero-gui

  1. Install the GUI Dependencies

For Ubuntu 16.04+ x64

sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel qttools5-dev-tools qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qt-labs-settings libqt5qml-graphicaleffects

Optional : To build the flag WITH_SCANNER

For Ubuntu and Mint

sudo apt install qtmultimedia5-dev qml-module-qtmultimedia libzbar-dev

  1. Build the GUI

For Ubuntu and Mint

./build.sh

The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.

Hope it helps!

PureOS is based on Debian so you need to work with the Ubuntu x64 instructions on the project page and adapt them slightly. Main differences:

  • you need git to download the project
  • libqt5qml-graphicaleffects is an Ubuntu package and is named qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects in the Debian world
  • you need the libreadline-dev and qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel packages

Steps to install monero-gui on PureOS

This has been tested with PureOS 8.0 "Prometheus" Beta 1.

  • Open a terminal

  • Download dependencies

    (This assumes that you have sudo and that your user is a sudoer)

    sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev miniupnpc libunbound-dev graphviz doxygen libunwind8-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libzmq3-dev qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel qttools5-dev-tools qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qt-labs-settings qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects libreadline-dev qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel

  • Download and build the project

    cd ~
mkdir monero
cd monero
git clone https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui
cd monero-gui
./build.sh

  • Go and get a cuppa while the project gets compiled...

  • Run the GUI:

    cd ~/monero/monero-gui/build/release/bin
./monero-wallet-gui

The Monero-gui is now available through Whonix's APT repository. For easier instructions, see this question here: How to install Monero on Debian Linux?
