Gridcoin on Raspbian?

Hi all,

I’m trying to install Gridcoin on my Pi3 to earn some of that sweet, sweet virtual cash. I follow the instructions for a Debian install through the Gridcoin website using the command

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gridcoin/gridcoin-stable

However, when I type that in the terminal I get the answer “sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found”.

What stupid thing am I doing that’s not letting it work? I presume Gridcoin is possible on a pibe running Raspbian? Yes, I know i’m not going to get rich!!

Many Thanks in advance

Brendon

Try this, https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@scalextrix/how-to-install-the-gridcoin-crypto-currency-wallet-on-a-raspberry-pi-2-or-3

Hi, that’s cool but at the very end of this page he mentions being able to run an installer to cut out 99% of this work. Why can’t I run the sudo add-apt?

Cheers

From that link, it would appear that’s not a valid Raspbian command. :


I’ve looked into the launchpad method too but I’m unable to run the

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gridcoin/gridcoin-stable

I get this error

sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found

This is on a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian.

You will need to flash your SD card with Ubuntu for the launchpad to work I think, I never used it myself.

Fantastic, thanks Alpha!
