Does anyone know when the daedalus wallet package will be available for Linux? Doing crypto on Windows is something I want to avoid for security reasons, and building it from scratch was not successful so far. Thanks and regards: Mathias ---

I was able to build from scratch, both the Cardano SL node and the Daedalus front-end node app. What specifically was your problem? Pretty soon here I will have a Nix package for the Cardano SL node and Nix package for the Daedalus front-end app with a NixOS module for the cardano sl node. ---

I agree with the idea of running anything on Windows in inherently insure…especially having to do with crypto. I also look forward to a Daedalus wallet app for Linux. So far, very impressed with the look and feel of the Windows app. Great development!!! ---

I’m curious what you guys would vote for as safer: **A)** Leaving ADA on an Exchange until the Linux Wallet arrives **B)** Brand new drive with fresh Win 7 install + updates (minus telemetry updates). Install Daedalus. Create Daedalus wallet. Transfer ADA over. Remove Drive from computer and wait for Linux Wallet. I’m worried about A, but I’m not sure of how scared I should be about option B. ---

It would be **really** awesome if someone Cardano-associated could leave a message on this message board about when a Linux wallet can be expected. Many people are waiting for it. ---

Or install Daedalus on a Win10 VM for now. You can get an evaluation version free from Microsoft. [https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines) ---

Arch Linux have AUR packages for both [cardano-sl](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cardano-sl/) and [daedalus](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/daedalus/), and they compile from the sources available on GitHub. ---

Great that Arch Linux has the packages! Sadly, I am using Ubuntu… @isferos: I did think about M$ in VM, but just consider the thought too icky. ---

I succeeded following Cardano’s [Github instructions](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-sl/blob/master/docs/how-to/build-cardano-sl-and-daedalus-from-source-code.md) on building cardano node and wallet. This is on Ubuntu 17.10 x86\_64 fresh install. As promised, here are the commands I used. You can put copy them into a file and run that. ``` #/bin/sh set -e #Install prerequisites sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install git curl tmux libssl-dev cabal-install cmake libgflags-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libsnappy-dev clang g++-6 # Get Haskell Stack set +e curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh set -e # Get CPPHS cabal update sudo cabal install cpphs --global #Install Nix package manager curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh sudo mkdir -p /etc/nix sudo rm -f /etc/nix/nix.conf sudo touch /etc/nix/nix.conf echo "binary-caches = https://cache.nixos.org https://hydra.iohk.io" | sudo tee -a /etc/nix/nix.conf echo "binary-caches-public-keys = hydra.iohk.io:f/Ea+s+dFdN+3Y/G+FDgSq+a5NEWhJGzdjvKNGv0/EQ=" | sudo tee -a /etc/nix/nix.conf . ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh # Make RocksDB if [! -d "rocksdb"]; then git clone https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb.git fi cd rocksdb export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib sudo make install-shared CC=gcc-6 CXX=g++-6 cd .. # Get cardano if [! -d "cardano-sl"]; then git clone https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-sl.git fi cd cardano-sl git checkout cardano-sl-1.0 #Build Cardano SL if [! -d "cardano-sl-1.0"]; then nix-build -A cardano-sl-static --cores 0 --max-jobs 2 --no-build-output --out-link cardano-sl-1.0 fi #Get NVM curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | sh # Get nvm command defined.

> [@isferos](#): > > Next is to figure out how to run. Thanks for pointing this out! It seems [here](https://forum.cardano.org/t/linux-daedalus-connecting-to-the-network-archlinux/3148) I am not the only one struggling how to run it.

Thank you! I will definitely take a look. Though, you will forgive me, if I continue to advocate for an installation script or Debian Package; for, “the masses” 😉 Seriously though, thanks for your time and effort, it is much appreciated! 🏆 [Next page](https://forum.cardano.org/t/availability-of-daedalus-wallet-for-linux-system/705.md?page=2)
