Exactly. After you download vmware player for Windows, you will be running Linux in a virtual machine on Windows. It’s one of those kind of creepy things that turns out to be kind of cool.
I am going to PM you the seed so you will have it when my won’t work
It just finished installing ubuntu…brb
ummm…GG checkin in…hitf do i send a pm???
i am in downloads but i dont know how to install it
Im out …bb tomorrow :sleep:
My bad, I bailed after I posted the VM stuff
Ok so you got as far as switching user to root, and getting to the Downloads directory? Excellent! You’re almost there.
You can list the files like this:
ls -l
Once you are in the Downloads directory, type:
./Agama*
That should kick off the installer.
I have to be at the hospital in an hour but ill be back in 5 hr or so…here is where I am stuck…
xxooss@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ ./Agama*
bash: ./AgamaApp-0.1.6.2e-beta-linux-x64-installer.run: Permission denied

i moved it to the desktop thinking i could work with it easier. Seems I am no longer able to execute it though
xxooss@ubuntu:~$ ls
Desktop Downloads Music Public Videos
Documents examples.desktop Pictures Templates
xxooss@ubuntu:~$ cd Desktop
xxooss@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ ls
AgamaApp-0.1.6.2e-beta-linux-x64-installer.run
xxooss@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ ./Agama*
bash: ./AgamaApp-0.1.6.2e-beta-linux-x64-installer.run: Permission denied
xxooss@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo su -
[sudo] password for xxooss:
root@ubuntu:~# ./Agama*
-su: ./Agama*: No such file or directory
root@ubuntu:~#
ok…what next?
lol
xxooss@ubuntu:~$ dir
Desktop Downloads Music Public Videos
Documents examples.desktop Pictures Templates
xxooss@ubuntu:~$ cd Downloads
xxooss@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ dir
AgamaApp-0.1.6.2e-beta-linux-x64-installer.run
xxooss@ubuntu:~/Downloads$
Down to the final stretch! Ok try this and it should be a winner:
xxooss@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo su -
[sudo] password for xxooss:
root@ubuntu~# cd ~xxooss/Desktop
root@ubuntu:/home/xxooss/Desktop# chmod 755 Agama*
root@ubuntu:/home/xxooss/Desktop# ./Agama*
Let me know?
After install:
root@ubuntu:/home/xxooss/Desktop# exit
xxooss@ubuntu: Agama
(then magic happens)
Okie doki pokie…I got it installed and it is downloading the blockchain and the addy it gave me is the same one!! yay So after the chain finishes my transaction should show up. Thanks for you patience with me and send me your btc addy or ltc either way so i can give you a little something…you know…for the effort. I love Cadyshack
Yachtzee! Very good, very good indeed.
The great Rodney Dangerfield once said, and I must quote:
“Yeah, wanna make fourteen dollars the hard way?”
He would be proud! lol
No worries on the effort, it’s all good, I do what I do. But if you’d like to make a very small donation to the forum to help keep the lights on that’s cool, peace!

Woot! it’s at 28 percent and still going! only had to restart twice then I upped the ram to 4gb and its ok. Well I must say you do what you do really well. I was in the tech support/customer satisfaction for years and you have the gift. I once walked a kindergarten teacher through replacing er motherboard and I thought I was good…you were able to convey in understandable verbage how to set up a virtual server, inside windows 10, install linux on it and have it do what it was supposed to do
what?
you are the
Many thanks! I’ve got a lot of really bizarre technical things trapped in my head. Not sure how they got there, it’s Google’s fault! lol
Died out at 80 percent…disk full. Made a new VM starting over. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
These blockchains - what is the deal right? I mean, they just EAT disk space. Who came up with that idea anyways!? (totally joking) lol…
Are we having fun yet? NOW I get the same javascript error in linux on the vm…w t f…ok ima send you the seed. lol…how do I send a PM on this here forum deal? or shoot me an email to xxoossy@gmail and ill reply back with the seed from hell.
Yes, time to teach it a lesson lol.
No prob, I’ll crank up an email to you. Incoming
