# Installation

Head over to the releases page and grab the latest binary. https://github.com/adityapk00/zec-qt-wallet/releases

### Linux
Extract and run the binary.
```
tar -xvf zec-qt-wallet-v0.4.3.tar.gz
./zec-qt-wallet-v0.4.3/zec-qt-wallet
```

### Windows
Unzip the release binary 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)

See detailed build instructions [on the wiki](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zec-qt-wallet/wiki/Compiling-from-source-code)

### Building on Linux

```
git clone https://github.com/adityapk00/zec-qt-wallet.git
cd zec-qt-wallet
/path/to/qt5/bin/qmake zec-qt-wallet.pro CONFIG+=debug
make -j$(nproc)

./zec-qt-wallet
```

### Building on Windows
You need Visual Studio 2017 (The free C++ Community Edition works just fine). 

From the VS Tools command prompt
```
git clone https://github.com/adityapk00/zec-qt-wallet.git
cd zec-qt-wallet
c:\Qt5\bin\qmake.exe zec-qt-wallet.pro -spec win32-msvc CONFIG+=debug
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
```

### Building on macOS
You need to install the Xcode app or the Xcode command line tools first, and then install Qt. 

```
git clone https://github.com/adityapk00/zec-qt-wallet.git
cd zec-qt-wallet
/path/to/qt5/bin/qmake zec-qt-wallet.pro CONFIG+=debug
make

./zec-qt-wallet.app/Contents/MacOS/zec-qt-wallet
```
