Introduction

Monero is a private, secure, untraceable, decentralised digital currency. You are your bank, you control your funds, and nobody can trace your transfers unless you allow them to do so.

Privacy: Monero uses a cryptographically sound system to allow you to send and receive funds without your transactions being easily revealed on the blockchain (the ledger of transactions that everyone has). This ensures that your purchases, receipts, and all transfers remain absolutely private by default.

Security: Using the power of a distributed peer-to-peer consensus network, every transaction on the network is cryptographically secured. Individual wallets have a 25 word mnemonic seed that is only displayed once, and can be written down to backup the wallet. Wallet files are encrypted with a passphrase to ensure they are useless if stolen.

Untraceability: By taking advantage of ring signatures, a special property of a certain type of cryptography, Monero is able to ensure that transactions are not only untraceable, but have an optional measure of ambiguity that ensures that transactions cannot easily be tied back to an individual user or computer.

About this Project

This is the GUI for the core Monero implementation. It is open source and completely free to use without restrictions, except for those specified in the license agreement below. There are no restrictions on anyone creating an alternative implementation of Monero that uses the protocol and network in a compatible manner.

As with many development projects, the repository on Github is considered to be the "staging" area for the latest changes. Before changes are merged into that branch on the main repository, they are tested by individual developers in their own branches, submitted as a pull request, and then subsequently tested by contributors who focus on testing and code reviews. That having been said, the repository should be carefully considered before using it in a production environment, unless there is a patch in the repository for a particular show-stopping issue you are experiencing. It is generally a better idea to use a tagged release for stability.

Supporting the Project

Monero development can be supported directly through donations.

Both Monero and Bitcoin donations can be made to donate.getmonero.org if using a client that supports the OpenAlias standard

The Bitcoin donation address is: 1KTexdemPdxSBcG55heUuTjDRYqbC5ZL8H

Core development funding and/or some supporting services are also graciously provided by sponsors:

There are also several mining pools that kindly donate a portion of their fees, a list of them can be found on our Bitcointalk post.

Installing Monero Core from a Package

Packages are available for

Packaging for your favorite distribution would be a welcome contribution!

Compiling Monero Core from Source

Dependencies

TODO

On Linux:

(Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 i386 and Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" - Cinnamon (64-bit))

  1. Install Monero dependencies.

    sudo apt install build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev miniupnpc libunbound-dev graphviz doxygen libunwind8-dev pkg-config libssl-dev

  2. Grab an up-to-date copy of the monero-core repository.

    git clone https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core.git

  3. Go into the repository.

    cd monero-core

  4. Use the script to compile the Monero libs necessary to run the GUI.

    ./get_libwallet_api.sh

  5. Install the GUI dependencies.

  • For Ubuntu 16.04 i386

    sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel qttools5-dev-tools qml-module-qtquick-dialogs

  • For Ubuntu 16.04 x64

    sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel qttools5-dev-tools qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qt-labs-settings libqt5qml-graphicaleffects

  • For Linux Mint 18 "Sarah" - Cinnamon (64-bit)

    sudo apt install qml-module-qt-labs-settings qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects

  1. Build the GUI.

    qmake

    make

  2. Before running the GUI, it's recommended that you have the Monero daemon running in the background.

    ./monerod

  3. Run the GUI client.

    ./release/bin/monero-core

On OS X:

  1. Install Xcode from AppStore

  2. Install homebrew

  3. Install monero dependencies:

    brew install boost --c++11

    brew install openssl - to install openssl headers

    brew install pkgconfig

    brew install cmake

  4. Install latest Qt using official installer from qt.io (homebrew version might be outdated).

  5. Add Qt bin dir to your path:

    export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Qt/5.7/clang_64/bin

    where Qt is the folder you selected to install Qt.

  6. Grab an up-to-date copy of the monero-core repository.

    git clone https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core.git

  7. Go into the repository.

    cd monero-core

  8. Build libwallet

./get_libwallet_api.sh

  1. Start the build:

./build.sh

The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.

On Windows:

  1. Install msys2, follow the instructions on that page on how to update packages to the latest versions

  2. Install monero dependencies as described in monero documentation into msys2 environment. As we only build application for x86, install only dependencies for x86 architecture (i686 in package name)

  3. Install git into msys2 environment:

    pacman -S git
    
  4. Install Qt5 from official site.

    • download unified installer, run and select following options:
      • Qt > Qt 5.7 > MinGW 5.3.0 32 bit
      • Tools > MinGW 5.3.0
    • continue with installation
  5. Open mingw shell:

    %MSYS_ROOT%\msys2_shell.cmd -mingw32

    Where %MSYS_ROOT% will be c:\msys32 if your host OS is x86-based or c:\msys64 if your host OS is x64-based

  6. Clone repository:

    git clone https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core.git
    
  7. Build libwallet:

    cd monero-core
    ./get_libwallet_api.sh
    

    close mingw shell after it done

  8. Build application:

    • open Qt environment shell (Qt 5.7 for Desktop (MinGW 5.3.0 32 bit) is shortcut name)
    • navigate to the project dir and build the app:
      cd %MSYS_ROOT%\%USERNAME%\monero-core
      mkdir build
      cd build
      qmake ..\ -r "CONFIG+=release"
      mingw32-make release
      mingw32-make deploy
      
    • grab result binary and dependencies in .\release\bin
