Installation

Installation is a different process dependent on which platform you run. At present, TurboEthereum supports three platforms: Ubuntu, Mac OS X and Windows.

For installing the desktop tools on Windows and Mac, just grab the latest release. (For Windows you might also need this.)

For installing on Ubuntu or Homebrew, instructions follow.

Installing on Ubuntu 14.04 and later (64-bit)

Warning: The ethereum-qt PPA will upgrade your system-wide Qt5 installation, from 5.2 on Trusty and 5.3 on Utopic, to 5.5.

For the latest stable version:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum-qt
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cpp-ethereum

If you want to use the cutting edge developer version:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum-qt
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum-dev
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cpp-ethereum

Installing the Mix IDE

Mix, the developer IDE is still in its infancy and still needs a lot of work. If you are adventurous, you can try to run Mix by installing the cutting edge developer version of cpp-ethereum (see above) and then add this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum-qt
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum-dev
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mix
mix

Installing on OS X and Homebrew

If you want the full suite of CLI tools, include eth and ethminer, you'll need Homebrew.

Once you've got Homebrew installed, tap the ethereum brew:

brew tap ethereum/ethereum

Then, for the stable version:

brew install cpp-ethereum
brew linkapps cpp-ethereum

or, for the latest cutting edge developer version:

brew reinstall cpp-ethereum --devel
brew linkapps cpp-ethereum

Add the --with-gui option to include the AlethZero and the Mix IDE in the installation; you can then find AlethZero and Mix in your Applications folder.
