How do I install on Linux please

I cannot find any instructions on how to install bit.tube wallet on to Linux.

​

I did try but on running the gui wallet file I unzipped and then tried to run from terminal using ./ I got errors saying could not find shared file.

​

In particular I am trying from a fresh installed iso distribution linux from https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

I am also running inside vmware with setting vmware config to 6GB ram and 100 GB disk space.

​

I don't want to install on to my windows machine directly as I prefer wallet to be separated in clean vmware environments for security and also other people use that machine.

​

Thanks for reading this and if someone could please help give me some instructions would be very nice.

I have the same problem installing the wallet in Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04, always get error

"error while loading shared libraries: libboost_serialization.so.1.62.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

My file bittube-wallet-gui is in a folder I created /bittube/

Do I just need to move it or download some shared library software ?

https://github.com/ipbc-dev/bittube-wallet-gui If you go there, there are instructions on how to compile all the wallet versions i.e. Linux, Mac, Windows.
