First we need to download and install the newest updates
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Next install the following major dependencies packages by: (don’t forget to click Y)
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev libcrypto++-dev libevent-dev libminiupnpc-dev libgmp-dev libboost-all-dev devscripts libdb++-dev libsodium-dev
next install the following QT dependencies packages by: (don’t forget to click Y)
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libcrypto++-dev libminiupnpc-dev qt5-default
The next thing we need to install are the bitcoin PPA files, these files are necessary for the compiling process.
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
sudo nano bitcoin.list

Now paste to following line:
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bitcoin/bitcoin/ubuntu artful main
Press ctrl X and Y and enter the following commands:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv C70EF1F0305A1ADB9986DBD8D46F45428842CE5E
sudo apt-get update
We’re almost ready to start the compiling process. We only need to change the libssl version to an older version. We can do this by the following commands:
cd && sudo apt-get remove libssl-dev
Set your repository list to point to "jessie " instead of "stretch", and save and exit this by ctrl x and clicking y:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

If you changed it to Jessie update again and install libssl-dev again.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Now let’ get started. First we will make a folder for the BC wallet by:
mkdir bitcoinc
If the folder is made we move into that folder by the following command:
cd bitcoinc
Now we need to clone the BC source
git clone https://github.com/Bitcoin-Confidential/BitcoinC-Core.git
If the cloning is done you will see there is a new folder. You can see this folder by running the ls command:
ls
Now let’s move into the source folder as root by typing:
sudo -i
cd /home/pi/bitcoinc/BitcoinC-Core/
This is one of the latest steps. We are going to compile the wallet right now. This can take a while! don’t worry just grab a beer and wait. We can start the compiling by the following command:
sudo qmake && sudo make
If it’s al done you we be back in the ~/bitcoinc/BitcoinC-Core folder. We can now run the wallet just by typing:
./bitcoinc-qt
To make life easier we can make a shortcut on our Desktop. We do this by typing:
cp BitcoinC-Core /home/pi/Desktop
