Issue: Installation problem of Flo Wallet in Kali Linux.(Fixed)

Note:Please use sudo with all commands for superuser permission if you are not in root mode.

Note:Please Download The Latest Florin coin version as mentioned in updated link.

Steps To install:

1-First open build-unix.md file in florin-coin folder that you have downloaded from github(https://github.com/floblockchain/flo)

2-See the dependencies that you have to install properly.

sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

3-To build with Qt 4 you need the following:

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler

For Qt 5 you need the following:

(Mine was Qt5)

sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler

4-Now, after installing all dependencies still you will face many problems.So instead of directly building it follow some steps.

5-

wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz (This will download the file in the directory where you run this cmd).

tar -xzvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz (This is for extracting the .tar file)

cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix (Now change your dir to extracted folder.)

../dist/configure –enable-cxx (Copy and paste the cmd in terminal as it is with two dots,before enable there are 2 hyphens).

make (After that type this)

sudo make install (After that type this).

6- Type this cmd in terminal apt-get install libssl1.0-dev (Removes libressl error)

7-Type this cmd in terminal apt-get install libevent-dev

8- Now after setting all this up,proceed with installation of florin coin.

Type all this in terminal

First change your directory: cd name_of_florin_coin_folder

Then run set of commands in order:

./autogen.sh

//To assign path of berkeley 4.8 while configuring

./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/include -O2" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib"

sudo make

sudo make install

Done..

After this Download Your flo-wallet from this link for linux:

https://www.flo.cash/

Extract the tar file in Desktop.

Save both folders(wallet and earlier downloaded florincoin folder) in same dir,in my case Desktop.

Use cd to change your dir to your wallet.i.e, in your bin folder.

Now type

./flo-qt

This will open a gui of wallet..
